Feb 21, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2008Pours a clear red color with a thin head that fades rather quick. The aroma had some hints of caramel malt with some hop bitterness but it was not that strong. The flavor was nice smooth and crisp with bitter hops but nothing overpowering. The finish was a bit thin and a tad bit on the watery side yet still enjoyable. Overall i like hop the bitterhops brought out the rich caramel malt but it could have used a little more spice to give it more flavor and bite.

Oct 28, 2007 Clearish amber pour covered by a lasting off-white head. Firm cerealic malts with a large dose of crystals. Straightforwardly put, good executiong. A clean example with flowery, leafy gentle hoppiness. Refreshing carbonation, well presented hops, good refreshing bitterness. Simple, but good.

Jun 5, 2006 Tap. Pours a reddish brown with an off-white head. Roasted malts on the nose. Hop flavors hiding behind a strong cup of coffee. Not what I expected from an amber. Too many roasted flavors to work.

Jul 23, 2005 Updated: Jan 15, 2007on tap-pours a white head, color is clear amber, looks like this should be good. Good carbonation. Taste is mild grain, then a little bite. Not what I had hoped for here either.
-rerate 3.3 much more in line with what I expected last time. A good balance of medium malt and some bite to the hops.
-rerate 3.7
