BMan1113VR (6444) - Los Angeles, California, USA - SEP 22, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. Pours with ever so slightly hazed copper-orange hued body with a lasting just off-white head. Aromas are bready, malty, caramel, fruity and a bit estery. A spice note (hop?) and some orange. Flavors are a bit husky, medium to slight strong bitterness (very strong for common, and it isn’t just a hop bitterness). Fruity esters, bready, grainy and very tea like. Medium bubbles and quite bland. Creamy with lively bubbles and a decent amount of tannic astringency.

wyzzywyz22 (1525) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - DEC 31, 2010
On Draught at the brewpub. Amber looks with a smallish white head. Sweet malts with a hint of citrus in the nose. Clean and straightforward flavour with some hop bitterness evident. Downable stuff, and gazing out on the ocean while drinking this, even if it was a wet december day, all was most well in the world.

Draft. An amber beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, toffee, grapefruits, and hops.

Zenwolf (257) - Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 3, 2010
Draught. Did i really try this @ 10am? Oh well. Deep amber color with a nice tan head. Great balance of fruity hops and a light malting. It was refreshing with just the right bitterness in the finish.

IrishBoy (3334) - Bakersfield, California, USA - AUG 4, 2010

SamGamgee (2452) - down the whirlpool, California, USA - JUN 2, 2010
Draught at the Giants Brewfest. Darker amber color with a fluffy white head. Earthy and fruity aroma with some spicy, woody hops and caramel malt character. The flavor has a nice balance between bready malt and caramel that give a medium-light sweetness, and a snappy hop bitterness and spicy flavor. Medium-light body. Not very adventurous but well balanced.
