pours multi colored like a black and tan with a small but holding off-white head. Aroma of full bodied hops and bitter and sweet malt. The flavor is like a good ipa with a nice malt backbone and a tinge of sweetness. Really superb beer. Texture and body are full without being too heavy. Body is mild and a tiny bit creamy. Lacing is heavy and intricate. The beer finishes with a becon for the next sip.

12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a clear medium amber color with a 2 finger off white head. Nose was quite hoppy and had some sweet malt in the back drop. This is by far the best beer I’ve had from Widmer.....good stuff!

Bottle... Poured reddish with a white head. Aroma was spicy with herbal hops. A little bolder than most amber ales, but the taste was somewhat off. Seemed very unbalanced with an awkward sourness. Cracker malt flavors with tangy hops that seemed not fresh.

Bottle from ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a hazy amber body and an off-white head that goes. Aroma of citrus and spruce like hops, and a decent malt presence, a bit catty. Seems like an attempt at SN Celebration. Taste is hoppy and a bit catty with some citrusy pinesol. Kind of creamy...sort of.

On tap at Boise Front Door. Pours out a nice amber topped with a tall cream head. Aroma of sweet malts and hops. Tast more of the rich malts and hops. A tasty amber.

12oz bottle: appearance is a dark amber brown with quick fading off white head, aroma has a good amount of hops in it with a hint of malt, flavor is very hoppy for an amber but none the less still very good. glad to see them bring back the W06 under a different name.
