Golden orange color slightly hazy. Carmamel malts with a very slight hop balance. A little watery but drinkable. Drank in the hot sun so was not that bad. Very cold was a bit refreshing. A little lingering corny taste.

Under-carbed caramel malt, some sweetness and more bitterness than I expected. The only thing that made it worth drinking was to have it at St. Nick’s pub.

12 oz bottle. Pours a Dull golden with medium carbonation and a very thin off white head. A roma is grassy, and herbal hops with some doughy pils and crackery pale malts. Flavor is a bit more crisp and has a distinct carapils ligth sweetness, with a tea-like bitterness- slight astringent. Actually has a typical quality that I find in many saratoga beers.

Pours a clouded amber gold. No head. Nose is a fairly firm metallic with a bit of sugar peeking about as well. Flavor is bitter with a lemon citrus edge. Sweet as well, but just a faint touch. Metallic is the word here as that is the most dominant feature. Feel is nice on the bubble and a bit thicker on the liquid. Overall though the metallic flavors that are there kind of detract I think. I can’t say it is anything exciting worth trying.

Sampled at GWBF 2007. Poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Hazy gold color with a thin white head. Light aroma of hops with a little bit of sweet malt. Light, dry hoppy flavor. An ok beer, but not worth revisiting.
