Pours a clear gold with little head. An aroma of sweet caramel and funk. Very sweet caramel apple flavor with a lemony yeast finish. Like no ale I’ve ever tasted before. Gets points for uniqueness I guess, but nothing I’d go out of my way to taste again.

Tawny golden in color with a tall lasting head. Smells of toasted biscuits. Full nectar with mellow residual effers. Slightly fruit with heavy biscuit essence on the palate. The finish is bittered mildly.

There was something off about this beer. It was much better from the tap than in the 22oz. bottles I bought afterwards. Disappointing.

I’m not sure why I haven’t reviewed this one before. New to Wisconsin about a year ago, sampled it first on draught in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club a couple years back. Not my favorite from these guys, pours a dark blonde-light amber colour with a medium sized head. Mouthfeel is decent, well carbonated brew, well integrated hop character and a soft nutty undertones. Contains characteristics of a weaker amber.

A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF.
Golden colour with an off white head. A little too sweet, very fruity and rather a lot (as in way too much) diacetyl. Pretty much a fail.

Picked up a bottle on a whim. Could not pass up a beer from the ’other’ Portland. Too bad I didn’t like it. Has a strange off flavor kind of a weirdly sour sweet taste in the middle of the mouth. Kinda funny beer. I’m hoping I somehow got a weird one because, well, it’s not my cup ’O.
