sampler @ brewery - dark amber and clear with very faint white head; light bodied with mild aromas of sweet malts; dank fruit and sweet candy come out in the flavors; pretty nice

I like Mild Ales, and this one is well done with a good amount of flavor. Copper color with a thin head. Floral hops and a distinctly English aroma. The flavor has notes of toffee, caramel, bread, and floral hops in the finish. Really nicely done. Hoppy for the style. Quaffable, sessionable etc. Good job.

Very hoppy for a mild - its pretty good in that arena. Has a pretty malty flavor to it as well - sweet and caramel flavors. Definitely a "quaffable" beer.

At the brewery. Pours a deep caramel brown with an off white head. Attractive brew. Nose is mostly malt, along with the flavor, which has a smooth smokey finish. Quite easy drinking.

1/5/08, 11th and Final Brewery of 07/08 Roadtrip with Bikesandbeer and his girlfriend Jesse. Drove out the way to get to this brewery, which was worth it, really nice people and good food and good brew. Pours amber with a bright white ring. Nose is very malty. Taste is sweet, and light and malty, robust and drinkable, I thought this was pretty darn nice.
