From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center Denver 18/09/2010 Floral malt aroma. Large white head. Amber coloured smooth on the palate and malty with a hint of bitterness in a dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a medium brown color. Has a nice malty aroma. Fairly smooth with a slight bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Bottle: Poured a clear amber with a off white head. Aroma is full of malt. Taste is malt and even a light alcohol burn. Some grit in the finish.

Not bad. A little hoppy in the finish, but other than that it’s a solid amber.

On draft. One of my favorite alt beers. Amberish color. Very smooth and well balanced. Yes I’ll have another.

[Tap] Pours a rusty orange color with a large cap of white foam head. Dry caramel malts, bread and grains in the aroma. Amber malts, mild nut and vanilla, some light fruit and cereal grain qualities in the taste. Creamy mouthfeel and lasting, thick finish. Honestly, there wasn’t anything too out of the ordinary with the flavor of this beer. What sets this beer apart is the solid mouthfeel that one rarely finds in this beer style. Overall... tasty, hearty and very sessionable.

It pours a clear amber with an 1 finger off white head that falls to a long lasting head. It has some small lacing. On the nose I am getting some Carmel,malt and little spice. The flavor is some what similar to the aroma. It has biscuit,Carmel,toffee. It’s sweet and unbalanced. Needs to have more hoppers It finishes with a little metallic notes and some faint hops. Nothing special here, average at best.

On tap enjoyed with friends. Pours out a deep amber with a thick head. Disappearing head left lots of lacing. Roasted maled flavor with a hint of hops. Refreshing and easy to drink.
