Appearance: Light, clear brown body with a small, fizzy ivory-colored head. Smell: Ringwood aroma with light, buttery notes. Faint caramel. Herbal hop character. Taste: Light caramel maltiness with a hint of butter. The hops impart flavors of citrus and herbs. Mild, lingering bitterness emphasized by the prickly carbonation on the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Union General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a badass. This beer, not so much.

The color is amber with a nice beige head with some lace.. The aroma is sweet and fruity and very light. The taste is hoppy and fruity and just the right amount of bitterness.

Expiration date of Jan 08. Pours a crisp, clean caramel-amber with a foamy off-white head. The head lasts about a minute and finally dissipates, but not entirely. The whole thing just feels and looks fresh. Delightfully light hoppy aroma. Kind of creamy mouthfeel that goes down smooth and leaves no lingering aftertaste. I enjoyed this recipe. Glad I’m close enough to be able to buy it again.

Bottle. Pours orange copper with an off white head. Fresh grassy hop aroma with a hint of caramel. Well balanced flavor with caramel malt and grassy/floral hops. Pretty good.

Pours copper with full tan head. The aroma is muted malts mixing with spicy to earthy hops. The taste is malty with a layer of caramel to start before spicy hops and a dash of citrus acidity like bitterness come to the surface. By midway mild earthiness, spicy and floral hops all sort of over running the malts in a mild mannered way. It ends with a slight hop tingle, a mild bit of roast and a memory of malt sweetness.
