Big ol’ 22 oz. draft. Copper-brown with a decent foamy head. Aroma replete with caramel malts and spicy hops. Smooth and drinkable flavor dominated by the malt and accentuated by a great spice finish. Incredible autumnal seasonal.

5oz sample at brewery. 7/2/09- Pours an amber with a nice tan head. Aroma of hops, malt, and caramel. Taste of the same with a bit of citrus thron in. This is a nice medium bodied hoppy amber.

Tap at the brewery. Reddish copper pour with a little white head. Soft toasted caramel with some orange zest, slight grapefruit, faint pine, licorice, toast and spice. Medium body and carbonation. Note: While I was away from my table, a friend I was with had Joe Short sign my notebook. He wrote, "Don’t take the beer too serious. My hope is that you enjoy it. May the Short’s be with you always."t the brewery.

Draft @ Shorts. Pours a clear, orange-amber color; off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Slightly medicinal, oily, confined dried fruit notes in the aroma; some earthy bitterness and caramel, but mostly a constrained dried red fruit note. Medium mouthfeel: fluffy carbonation; earthy bitterness, dried red fruits, and light touches of caramel; moderately dense, but one-dimensional at the core with a basic earthy bitterness throughout; an average amber ale; touches of alcohol. Medium finish: dry earthy bitterness and dried red fruits.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear amber with a beige head that laced down. Caramel burnt malts and herbal noble hops in the nose. Creamy palate that’s smooth and enjoyable. Malty flavors that are strong with toffee, nuts, and caramelized malts. Finishes with an herbal bitterness. Tasty beer.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark copper with a medium khaki head. The aroma was sweet apple pancakes with some cinnamon sticks. There was also some apple cider. The taste was caramel with some apples. A pleasant sweetness went with the entire package.
