Nov 10, 2007 Pours a dark amber with fairly dense head from my freshly poured growler. Hoppy aroma, sweet flavor with nice bitter finish. Full bodied with excellent balance.

Nov 4, 2007 Rating 1082, on tap at the bottleworks Nov 2nd 07. Hazy amber with a light presence of malts and hop. Taste more gentle and mild with a hint of caramel smothered under bitter tangy hops. Very pleasant and drinkable.

Nov 2, 2007 Draft sample at Schlafly Bottleworks. Light pale ale color. Quick draft pour leaves a big head in my li’l glass. Nice dry taste. A sharp note English hops. Agreed, it’s hard to think of superlatives for what should be a mild style. This is just a decent beer, too strong for a session beer, but with some conversational bitterness.

Oct 26, 2007 Highly surprised at the high ratings here. This is an ok winter beer - slight candy taste, mild after taste. Malty? A bit. Hops? Not too much. I thought it was above a basic beer, but not as bitter as an ESB or tasty as a winter ale.

Jul 21, 2007 Updated: Jul 2, 2008Thanks to theisti for the bottle. Hazy orange color with a small head. Aroma of caramel malts, fruits and floral hops. Taste brings out the fruit; citrus and tropical, which balances nicely with the big time malts. Bitter ending. Very nice.

May 30, 2007 Pours a deep sparkling orange with a lot of tiny bubbles and a rocky, off-white and lasting head. The aroma is of floral hops and a malty sweetness, with a light vanilla note in the background. Full-bodied and lively, the mouthfeel migrates to an oily smoothness as the beer warms and releases more of its CO2. Sweet malts and a rye accent dominate the flavor up front. A mild hoppy, floral bitterness finishes things out and lingers on the tongue. A tasty beer and one that will probably be in my fridge again when the next batch comes out this winter.

May 26, 2007 The color is a dark orange with a tan head. Malts and spices in the aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, and a pleasent balance of flavors. A good session beer.
