A bit of apple spice in the nose, and some caramel malt, which follows through onto the palate. Very sessionable, but nothing to write home about.

GABF 2011. Pours clear amber with a medium, fizzy off-white head, long retention with good lacing. Aroma is caramel, toast, and biscuit malt, spicy Noble hops and fruity esters. Flavor is caramel and toast malt with moderate hops, medium bitterness and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation, low warmth.

Ok, a clean amber.

On tap in Laramie. Impressive place for the town. One of the weaker offerings available, but it really wasn’t that bad. Color was reddish amber; quite attractive. Aroma of caramel and citrus. Flavor was bready and yeasty; pretty dry and not too hoppy. Some citrus; just ok.

on tap-pours a light tan head and amber/brown color with effervescence. Aroma is medium malt, hops. Taste is balanced medium malt-caramel, hops. OK carbonation.

This is just another ’not-too-noteworthy’ brown ale. It is very drinkable but I wouldn’t go out of my way to obtain it.

Fragrant floral nose, followed by fresh bread and just a hint of spice. Some nice fruitiness upfront, with a caramel malt base and grassy herbal hoppiness. Well balanced.

Medium amber; caramel-colored. Decent head, nice lace. Nice malts, with flavors of toasted bread, light grains, and a little roast. Sweet, but tame, base of caramel and toffee. Balancing hops (flowers, grass) with a complementing level of bitterness. Hint of sourness as well. Pretty drinkable with some nice things going on.
