Draft... Lightly hazed amber ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Fantastic retention. The aroma is of caramel, pine and grapefruit. The flavor is of a solid caramel or Munich malt backbone yielding to numbing, bitter hops. No residual sweetness. Full-bodied and silky with prickly carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, dry finish. Very pleasant surprise!

Jun 4, 2008 This one had a little bit more flavor than I was expecting. Also a bit hoppier than I was looking for in the style, but it works for this beer. Its never over the top, and would make a great session beer.. Medium bodied with some roasted caramel maltiness, and a dusting of citrus hops in the finish. Decent.

Mar 20, 2008 Pours clear copper with healthy tan head. It has a lightly roasted lightly sweet malt aroma that is so light it is tough to pick up any other aromatic cues. The taste is roasty and mildly malt sweet along with faint citrus and pine hops. It then blends into faint grainy Munich like malts and breadiness. Into the finish I get medium roasted maltiness and a hint of caramel sweetness leaving a nice reminder of the flavor profile. Very sessionable.

Mar 16, 2008 Pours a nice amber color with an off white head. I liked this one, has a nice bitterness to it and is very flavorful with some nicely balanced sweetness.
