Its a light brown, almost reddish color with a small white head that goes away pretty quickly. It smells fruity, sweet, maybe caramel and nutty, but its a very weak aroma. The flavour is very simple- some hops, bitter, and something like cheerios or some grainy taste. Overall I think the aroma is OK but way too weak, and the flavour is slightly offensive, its a decent beer but nothing special.

Bottle @ Ellicottville Beer Fest. Wouldn t conside this an APA. Little hop flavor. Perhaps an bland amber. Drinkable, some flavor, little bitterness. Nothing bad but rather bland & maybe thats the session beer they wanted to make

Hebrew’s flagship. Got them enough money to start brewin bigger, better, more tasty experimental brews. Not my thing, but it did us all a favor...(think Fat Tire!).

12 oz bottle purchased as part of beers of summer 10 pack at World Market. Pours with some seetling as hazed copper brownish. One inch off white head falls quick with sticky lacing. Aroma of grainy caramel sweet malt with a toasty breadiness. Small amount of floral. Taste is the toasty bready malt with the semi-sweet caramel. A bit of grass in the finish. As it warms, some iced tea crystal malt and light diacetyl comes out, detracting a bit. Palate is medium bodied, clean, quick finish. ( 6,4,5,3,12 - 3.0)

Bottle. Pours is fairly deep brown, with some nice layering. Hop aroma and taste, but nothing too overpowering. Get some malt in the finish. Well made beer, but nothing out of the ordinary. ( 5,3,6,3,13 - 3.0)

Raisin aroma. Hazy amber. Wooden raisin flavors. Not too exiting in my opinion.

Pours a medium orange brown color with small amount of bubbly offwhite head. Aroma is faint caramel sweetness and tad bit of citric and earthy hops. Flavor is mostly bitter earthy hops. Dry bitter tart finish. Overall, so so.

Clear copper, thin lacing. Aroma is light roasted malts, caramel, slight hops. Taste is metallic, some caramel. Light bitters all around. Body is particularly watery. Drinkable, barely.

Toasty and malty, medium thick body, a little sour caramel around the edges. Warm peppery hops at the end. Nice clear brown/copper body, medium head, good lacing.
