Commercial Description:
This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It’s malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. A cool beer for the heat, whatever your latitude!

Bottle. Small ivory fizzy head that mostly diminished, poor lacing, fast rising carbonation, murky, and an orange brown hue. Nose was malty, spicy, sweet, caramel, and some toffee. Flavor was sweet, malty, caramel, spicy, thin, watery, and light on hops. Tingly, watery and thin mouthfeel. Light body. Not much balance and just so-so. Nothing to get really excited about IMO.

Bottle pours a hazy dark amber, with a modest, light tan head. Fairly quickly dissipates to a thin soapy ring that still leaves nice lined of lacing. Soft aroma of light malts, vanilla and banana. Flavor is pale, light on the hops and a gentle light malt flavor. A session beer I suppose, but not very interesting.l very little bitterness on the trailer, but a nice bodya dn feel. Lightly carbonated.

Bottle. Pours murky copper with a thick foamy beige head. Aroma is toasty, banana, and light malts. Flavor is malty with notes of lemony citrus and honey with a sweet bready finish.

Another nice beer from a good brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small light tan head. The aroma is light sweet malts. The flavor is sweet and tangy light malts with a hint of fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is crisp. My kind of session beer.

pours a deep amber. Aroma is of caramel and toffee. Taste is sweet caramel and toffee, with not much to balance it out. Sweet finish.

Pours an intense burnt orange with a velvety yet light head. Smells of toffee, orange zest and spice. The flavor is fruity and spicy and yet not overbearing in anyway. A slightly sweet finish that takes the edge off of a hot summer day. Very smooth on the palate, lingering just a bit. I had quite a few on a family beach trip and will do it again next year.
