Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from level4. Thanks man! Copper colored brew with a nice thin head. Sweet malty aroma of some fruits, caramel, a touch of must, and toast. Sweetish flavors of fruit, caramel, light hop bitterness. Decent session beer, but nothing overly complex.

Nov 28, 2008 An attractive russett, copper color. A very minerally aroma with slight malt. Tastes of apple, citrus, leather barn and funk with thin and prickly mouthfeel.

Nov 21, 2008 A dark copper red with a little thin scummy looking head, but not really much to speak of on that front. Aroma is malty vanilla extract and raisins with some generic gummi bears. The flavor has a sort of roasty grain with a little brown sugar and even some watered down coffee. Watered down kind of describes the beer well. It is really thin and has a touch of hop bitterness, but in the words of dpjuart, "tastes like a slightly overhopped Oktoberfest." I agree.

Oct 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours light amber with some dirty yellow. Aroma is slight. Upon sipping, I first tasted some soft malt and bread, followed by a tartness and the essence of soda cracker. The palate feels average, but there is a curious sticky-dryness towards the finish. Oh, and amongst the finishing flavors is some smokiness which adds to the mystique of this brew. Unfortunately, Secret Ale only comes together moderately well.
