Aug 13, 2009 Draft at Fox and Hound, College Station. Amber with a small lasting head. Aroma is caramel and wood. Taste is similar with some grassy notes and light apple. Light-medium body is tingly and semi-dry.

Aug 1, 2009 Light Golden color. Thick white froth for a head.
Smells of malt and hops. Not a very strong aroma, I get little hints of bread/wheat and maybe some carmel.
The beer is a little off balance. Malty, bitter, creamy, buttery. It’s just not put together right.
The palate is off. I’m not sure I’ll be having another one of these.

Jul 1, 2009 Bottle. Amber pour(shocker!) Aroma is full of caramel malt and more hops than I was expecting. Some biscuit notes as well. Flavor is quite hoppy for an amber and has some cracker flavors as well. The malt is certainly noticeable but the hops shine more than in most ambers.

Jun 26, 2009 6/22/09 notes: bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma of grass, herbs, and some light caramel. Flavor has little going on: a bit of herbal/soapy hops, some salty biscuit, grains, and pale malt sweetness. Palate remains light and prickly throughout. Not seeing anything that interesting here.

Pour golden/orange, thin white head.
Aroma is hoppy and grainy.
Taste, sweet sugar, malts, light grains, hops for a light bitter pine with light citrus notes. Finish is thick with a nasty acidic teeth feel.

Apr 11, 2009 Updated: Apr 15, 2009Bottle courtesy of theisti. Pours a hazy pale amber with a thin creamy off-white head that diminishes to a thin skin. The nose is of sweet, biscuity pale malt with a soft, fruity hop note in support; not too bad for this style. Light to medium-bodied, it has a slick, almost creamy, mouthfeel that derives from its fine carbonation.Transitioning to a mildly bitter conclusion at the swallow, it has a nice mouthfeel for a session beer. The flavor follows the nose with sweet, biscuity malt backed by a nicely balancing floral hop note. This one was a pleasant surprise. While I am generally underwhelmed by most amber ales, this is one that I could see myself drinking on occasion were it made available locally. Thanks again for the bottle, Tim.

Apr 8, 2009 Pour orange, not amber...Fading white head on top of it. Aroma is earthy with soil, grain, light hops, caramel and a vegital component (cooked beats or parsnips). Taste is earthy, caramel, vegital and slightly hoppy with a light fruit note. A bit too fizzy mouthfeel.
