3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap on 10/28/07: Transparent amber mahogany pour has a dense, frothy light tan head. Aroma of slightly toasty malts with some fresh English hops. Body starts fairly full with a mild earthy malty sweetness and some piny hop character toward a crisp, bittersweet finish. Smooth, authentic and drinkable. A pretty good mild.

Pours hazy dark copper orange. Stiff white head.
Pours dark copper, almost brown. Pour with a nitro style head, but the beer was served on CO2, presumably.
Light earthy hops aroma with a toast and a bit of chocolate.
The hop flavor seems to be a bit more that an touch. Nutty, and toasty.
Light and dry. Refreshing carbonation.
Not really anything special, but I would drink this beer anytime. Nice beer.
