on tap-pours an off white head and copper color. Aroma is medium malt-sweet/caramel, secondary citrus hops. Taste is medium malt-sweet/caramel, secondary citrus hops. OK/mild carbonation.

Draft at brewpub. Poured a copper color with a moderate white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium balanced flavor with an average bitter finish. Good amber ale.

Tap at brewery: Amber hue with a good head and lace. The aroma has notes of soapy and musty wet grains, caramel, floral hops and is quite weak. The taste starts sweet and fruity with a caramel malt character, not much depth. The mouth feel is soft and thin. This beer is blah and paint-by-numbers amber ale, don’t waste your time.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 86. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Tampa Florida and was served to us by Jim McCann the brewer and Vicky Owen the owner. This brew poured a large head of foamy fine to large sized long lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent red brown colored softly carbonated body and a good lace. The aroma was that of a mild malt hop and the mouthfeel was initially biting and lingered into the finish. It had a mild caramel malt hop flavor.

Red color and malty aroma with excellent balance in flavor ... nice grapefruit overtones.

Draft at Tampa Bay Brewing. An average sized ivory head that was creamy and smooth with fine-large sized bubbles that were mostly lasting. The body was uncarbonated and transparent with an orange hue. The nose was malty and hoppy with a bitter and hoppy taste. The mouthfeel was bitter and hoppy and this was a medium bodied beer with excellent lacing on the sides of my glass.
