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!

Pop the lid of this 12 oz bottle and you get an almost fruity slightly regurgitated aroma, rather odd and anxious. Pour it into the glass and it is reddish brown orange and no head. Taste is a little fruity and not a whole lotta bitterness. This brew is pretty likable, at first I thought I was going to get a bitter impact but that never developed. This stuff is relatively smooth and well behaved. Easy to drink and well, for lack of words, nice. Very friendly after a few sips. Finish is non offensive and almost totally enjoyable. A well mannered beer. Yes, comes across very creamy, I like this. Much better than Oskar Blues Money Shot Cream Ale and just a little better than Genesee Cream Ale. End result is happy, would not hesitate to buy again. Lovely and different.

Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells of some light hops, caramel, doughy. Tastes light and malty with a hint of a citrus note.

12oz Bottle. Pours a clear medium amber with one finger tan head. Nose is light citrus and vanilla. Taste is toffee, vanilla, spice and tangy citrus. Medium mouth feel. An ok beer.

This is a strange little beer. Bottle from SunDevil. Looks and smells great - like an eisbock, actually. But the flavor is so thin and delayed. The whole experience is in the finish, with a watery yeastiness for the first two thirds. Ends with a sharp crust and almost old grain texture.

12 oz. Clear dark brown with a small spit of creamy foam. Molasses and chocolate aroma. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, vanilla cream and slight woody herb hops. Light-medium body is very lightly carbonated and has just enough dryness on the end.
