Oct 29, 2008 Pours a clear golden yellow with a small white froth head. Aroma is sweet and malty with a lot of graininess. Some biscuit and bread as well. Flavor starts out with a quick bit of sweetness from that malt but then gets hit with some mild apple juice like tartness. Crisp finish that is still sweet but some bitterness lingers. Medium body and average carbonation. Something doesn’t seem balanced about this beer, I think it is soo malty and grainy and the hops don’t balance at all.

Sep 8, 2008 Bottle. Okay appearance and aroma but flavor is a little overwhelming for me. A bit of malt flaver but mostly I was sensing alcohol on the tongue. Not terrible, but not my favorite.

Aug 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a light gold color with hints of amber in the color. The head it a nice frothy white that leaves a textbook lacing all the way down the glass. Nose is mainly malty with a nod towards caramel malt. There is also a slight slight hint of alcohol in there as well. Flavor is a slightly floral, sweet malt body with a touch of hop bitterness just to balance it all out. Very smooth on the palate and you would never guess this bad boy to be 7.1% ABV until you finish the glass.

Jun 7, 2008 On tap at Von Trier’s in Milwaukee. Had a slight off-white head, amber color. Aroma was dominated by citrus and spicy coriander. Flavor was similar, with a bit of malt but mostly a sweet orange and spicy currant or coriander flavor. Some toffee notes. Palate was decent.

May 31, 2008 Pours a medium clear copper with a large off white head.
Aroma is slightly skunky, sweet caramel malt and a hint of maple syrup.
Flavour is lighter than I expected.
Medium malt but the hop presence seems thin, slight tin aftertaste.

Apr 26, 2008 Definitely a middle of the road beer. But since it is local, cheap, and in season, I love it (well not that much)
Bottled, cold, pours a nice dark golden hue. Not too much of a head here. Smooth on the palate, but not too much mouth feel. Slightly too sweet, and like other comments, the taste is heavy on the wheat and rye grains.
For the money though, definitely a good choice.
