Sample at the Texas Beer & Brats tasting 10/11/2009. The beer is a lightly hazed dark orange-amber color with a thin and fizzy beige head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Notes of malt and fruit in the nose. Light body with flavors of roasted malt, fruit and a touch of metal. The finish is short and mildly malty. Below average overall.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy dark copper body with a small fizzy beige head. The nose is all sweet caramel malt with minimal to no hops. The flavor is much the same, slightly grainy, toasty, and caramel malts through and through. A bit of a hop bitterness on the finish but not much. Light to medium bodied with a short forgettable finish. Below average, even for an Amber Ale.

Initial bitterness of hops, which subsides to a slightly sweet caramel flavor. Not bad.

Bottle. Poured with a nice towering head the way I like it. Big malty aroma, hinting at a chewy brew. Dang -- the first impression at the sip doesn’t fulfill the promise. Light in body, with a musty, mashy character, and a soapy bit doesn’t help. Drinkable enough, but could be better. (#3608, 14 July 2009)

12 oz. bottle via trade with beastiefan2k - First off, cool label. Beer pours a hazy amber color with a 1/2 finger think off white head. Aroma is light caramel malt, light floral hops, and a touch of soap. Faint lacing. Flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma with some malt sweetness in there. Light to medium body. The beer is nothing special, but I dig the label which is worth a couple tenths of the overall score. Thanks Eugene.

Bottle sampled at the Warbird tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.19.09. Clear reddish amber pour with a thin off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with a decent hop balance. Flavor is pretty much the same, but just need more of it. Thin finish.
