joeneugs (282), Livermore, California, USA Mar 16, 2009 On tap at the brewery. This was my fifth sample and the next one after the IPA, so my palate may have been a bit skewed on this one. Red color with a tiny off white head. Thin/medium bodied with a decent malt structure and a faint herbal flavor. Very little bitterness.This was kind of non descript for me, but still pleasant. anders37 (4516), Malmö, Sweden Feb 16, 2009 Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a dark reddish amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty hoppy caramel aroma. Slightly roasted malty caramel flavor. Has a sweetish malty caramel finish. bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Nov 16, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Reddish amber color. Slightly roasted aroma. Flavor is slightly roasted malt with some balancing bitter. Not a brown nor a pale nor an ESB. Almost its own style. Amber? fidel (884), Livermore, California, USA May 28, 2008 Nice clear amber color. Caramel, nutty, malty and slightly hoppy with a dry crisp finish. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA May 25, 2008 On tap at the Sac Brewfest. Pours beautiful deep amber with a thin oatmeal colored head. The aroma is a bit subdued with malty sweetness poking through. The flavor is that, plus a smooth, smokiness that ends cleanly.
