May 8, 2008 Bottle and label says bottone on Nov. 05 2007. Small off-white head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, mostly transparent with a slight haziness, carbonation noted, and a golden hue. The nose was malt, caramel and floral hops. Ditto for the flavor along with some bitterness. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. A very easy to drink brew, nice balance, nicely done, and worthy of a try.

Apr 12, 2008 Thanks to STLWill. Copper pour with a dirty white head. Floral hop aroma with a malty undertone. Flavor is much the same with the floral hops and a sweet malt.

Apr 11, 2008 Sampled from 12-oz bottle, shared by STLWill at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear golden amber brew with an average off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white head. Some spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some floral hops, a touch of white pepper and a touch of dry spice. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet caramel malt and flowery hops. Finish has a nice aftertaste with a good balance of caramel malt and some mild bitterness.

Apr 10, 2008 Another one thanks to STLWill! Copper color with a medium head. Aroma is slightly floral hops. Quite a dry and malty brew with more hops added for flavor than many ESBs. Fairly thick body. Nice.

Mar 27, 2008 Cloudy unfiltered wheat and amber colored body. Frothy, moderately thick, hoppy, tinny, flavor of crackers, wheat, some stale lemon and some dried grass. Almost chewy, really delicious, and the texture and body on this is hefty and full, I like it.
