On tap. Clear amber golden with a creamy off-white head leaving a pretty lacework. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel, good and solid maltiness with caramel accents. The finish is dry and lightly hoppy. 070709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours slight cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity and mild caramlish. Malty and caramelish flavoured. Light sweet flavoured into the far finish. Nice and smooth.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick, dirty tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves lots of lacing. Faint aroma and taste of bready caramels, citrus and melons, toasted toffees, and a light bitterness. Finishes dry with more of a sweet melony, soft bitter linger. Light bodied and smooth. Overall, not a bad beer, but fairly unexciting.

(11/5/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in San Diego. Hazy deep amber color with an off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, some caramel, light hoppy hints and a bit of fruity notes. Sweetish malty flavor with toastiness, bread, caramel and a drier finish. Medium-bodied.

Tap at SDBC. Amber coloured beer. Aroma is mostly of light pale malts. No real character malts apparent in spite of the deep colour. Flaovur is quite bland with just a kiss of earthy bitterness. Meh... quite uninspired.

Rerate; same score. Review as follows....Sample at the brewpub; amber in color with a khaki colored head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, and buttery biscuits. Flavor was similar; a pretty decent hopping in the finish (for the style). All in all, it stood out a bit from others in the style.
