Yum! sweet and floral aromas dance atop beds of lightly toasted malts, dry caramel, apricot, mineral hints. Earth juice. This beers aromas and flavors are near impossible to distinguish seperately. Glad I finally got a rateable sample of this excellent brew. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 22, 2007 On tap in Princeton. It was a clear, dark gold with a creamy, off-white head. A head which held to the bottom of the glass. A strong malt flavor was followed by a big hop hit. Full bodied flavor with a lingering hop aftertaste. hophead75 (1964), Boonton, New Jersey, USA

Poured a clear rusty copper colored body with a large silky smooth creamy off white head. Biscuit and nut aroma. Super creamy and smooth body. Flavor is grain, nut and slight toffee. A very refreshing and well done beer. Jine (896), Nutley, New Jersey, USA

Solid balance of malt with the hops. Love the handpump. Go try it out
