On draft at the brewery - Delicious brew. Nicely balanced in all areas. I could drink this one every day.

Probably my favorite of the Shorts line-up and one of the best amber ales brewed in Michigan. Nice chewy color with a solid craggy head. Maltiness, nuts, and a little tinge of hop in the aroma. Great mouthfeel, this is one thirst quenching beer. It really does capture the spirit of season.

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.

(Tap @ Tuba Charliels Travelers Club, Okemes, MI): Pours a cloudy brown color, light brown. White head. Fruity aroma, maybe some hops. Hoppy fruity spicy, pumpkiny taste. Very tasty. Balanced aftertaste.

On tap. Pours a dark copper/amber color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is caramel, citrus, buttery. Flavor is caramel, malt, citrus, floral hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished on the sweet side. Very nice.

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.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy dark orange color. Head was white. Aroma was of distinct buttery caramel. There was mild hop bitterness of about 3 out of 10. Caramel, toffee, and flowery hop flavors struck a nice balance.

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.
