3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
#900! And while this may not be the most exciting beer. Nor does it have extremely high gravity or a vintage dating, I have been looking forward to trying this beer for some time now. Honey amber hued. Tight ring of off-white head. Red fruity notes wrapped up in a caramel bready aroma. Medium bodied with wonderfully sweet smooth malts. Mild bitterness and a moderately long tingling finish. Really nice citrus and berry acidity. Grapefruity undertones in the finish. Wonderful opportunity to try this beer! Great milestone!

GABF 2002: Bright amber color. Strong caramel aroma, with clean caramel flavors up front. Light bitter finish. Well balanced. One of the best ambers I’ve tried.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Amber colored. Sweet malty aroma. Malty, hoppy and sweetness. Kinda nice.

The brewer seems to have a house character that I don’t get along with that well...we’re kind of like fake friendly towards eachother. Sweet malting and not much more than that one-dimensionality is what I find. Oh, it’s not bad, and in fact, I think it’s pretty good...I just don’t like it all that much.

Bottle (in NZ). Pours a copper colour with a thin white head. Caramal malt aroma, very slightly metallic. The palate is again slightly metallic. But the flavour is an interesting combination of grainy malt and peppery hop, with hints of fruit. The dry finish also has a short salty tang.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small diminishing white head. The aroma is caramel malt, lightly toasted grains, and light fruity hops. The flavor is more roasted than the nose indicated. Roasted caramel malts, light fruit (plum/prune), mild bitterness, and toffee. Medium bodied fairly easy to drink.

Nose has apple, pineapple, cherry, strawberry, dusty almost bocky malt. Flavor is soft fruitiness, strong rich malt, a bit of cola in the finish. I don’t remember liking any other alts this much.
