@Mountain Beerfest-on tap-pours a dissipating off white head and amber color. Aroma is mild light malt-some sweet. Taste is light malt-some sweet, secondary light spice hops. OK carbonation.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Aroma of medium malt. Nice amber color with an ephemeral white head. It starts a bit thin bodied. Moderate carbonation. The initial is a somewhat watery sweetness, and as the fluid leaves there is a surge of medium dark malt flavor. No burnt, no roast, just malt. There does not seem to be much hop until way into the finish. This is all about malt.

NABA ’04: Amber bronze color with light head, some lacing. The aroma is sweet & fruity. Flavor is malty with a little sweetness & lager qualities. Finishes with alcohol & sweetness.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with kyzr. Pours a clear golden orange brew with an average fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a nice ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, some sweet pears and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied with a slightly sweet caramel malt and toffee that is very enjoyable. Finish continues the sweet flavor and a slight toffee aftertaste. Taste more of the malt than any hop bitterness in this brew.

Unfiltered draft pint at the brewery taproom, shared with my wife. Hazy orange with not much of a head. Wheaty aroma and sure enough this is a gristy, rindy, fruity brew, not unlike most American wheats. Vaguely orangey, even. Off style, but good. (#2927, 5/19/2007)

Darker golden color with no head. Caramel malts are strong in the aroma with some sour fruits - maybe apples, a little butter and thats about it. Caramel and light butter, a touch of sour fruit too. Not real hoppy, maybe a little spicy if anything. A little alcohol is detectable too. It is alright.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Clear orange-amber, dense orange-tinted head leaving early lace. Fruity toffee aroma. Sweet malt (marzipan) and light fruit (apricot) in perfect balance, very flavourful. Moderate bitter finish. Very good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Orange glow, translucent, even a little fiery, thin sudsy white head, hardly any lacing, very little carbonation. Sweet malty nose, very slight honeycomb cereal. Quite sweet on the tongue, also quite
malty, but also very cereal like. This one is almost too sweet. Bready, feels heavy on the tongue. Full bodied. Yeah, a little too sweet. Try drinking a few pints of this, I dare ya. Clean finish,
lingering cereal like malts. Not a bad beer, heavier than expected, also sweeter.
