Pours a light brown color with a good-looking tan head, Has a spiced-up aroma, sweet malts, almost sugary. Fairly light in the mouth with a tart hop bite. Bitter/sour finish. I like it. Good ESB.

Amber/mahogany color, hazy, with no strong presence of co2. The head is tan with fair retention – the lace is kinda sticky. Aroma is spicy (sassafrasish), malty and hoppy. Flavor is lightly sweet with a light bitter finish. Palate is light-bodied, low effervescence with a light but acrid hop bite. IMHO: not as much B as expected, but a pleasant ale.

Beer pours as a dark copper with a thick head. Very malty aroma. Smooth brown sugary tastes with a hopping that strikes me as odd whereby the flavor and bitter only appear on the back of the tongue. The hops tasted stale.

Pours a nice-looking reddish copper with a sturdy khaki head resting on top. Aroma is sweet and grapey with a wine-like quality, some sweet malts and slight hop spice. Flavor is abnormally tart and sweet for the style, wine, malts, and good peppery hops with a decent bitter quality and a long grassy finish. Not bad.

Poured dark brownish amber with a thin off white head...smells very malty and a little sour but definately some caramel...I am quite disappointed in the flavor...very thin and not very carbonated...sour and sweet taste...not very bitter or not really much hops to be detected at all...overly thick sweet finish...

Clear amber, fizzy off-white head. Nose of overripe dark fruit covered in caramel, toffee, with a touch of molasses. Well balanced sweet malt & soft hops. Light- bodied, fizzy carbonation, bitter-sweet finish. Not bad, not great.

Sparkling clear, orange ale with a small, fizzy, quickly dissipating head. The aroma holds light notes of molasses, caramel and dark fruit. The flavor is well-balanced. Just a touch tart. Toffee notes, light buttermilk, molasses and dark fruit. Light-bodied with a very lightly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, lightly bitter, watery finish.
