DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 14, 2009 Bottle from Total Wine St. Pete (from now on just called TWSP). Pours medium brown with reddish tints with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is malt, brown sugar, hops, red winey fruit. Tastes caramel malty, with molasses, earthy brown sugar, and some grapey warming notes. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Jul 10, 2009 Bottle consumed while shopping in Boothbay Maine. Moderate coppper in glass. thin head dissipates instantaneously. Thin, wormy lacing rings the glass and soon dropps to oblivion. The boring and flatline body does little to quench my thirst. A metallic tang finish. Blah Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jul 8, 2009 12oz bottle 7/8/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours amber with a small off white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and slight hops. Taste is of the same with a bit of hops and dryness on the back end. This medium bodied brew is pretty weak. michael-pollack (2606), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 17, 2009 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of butter, Ringwood yeast, slight oak leaves, slight maple, and some malts. Typical Shipyard shit-smelling beer. "Big fruity nose" my ass; there is NO fruit in the aroma. Poured amber/orange in color with a small, off-white head that diminished but lasted as a film on top of the beer. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is slight sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of hops, Ringwood yeast, dried leaves, slight butter, and a hint of maple. Light to medium body. Thin, dry texture. Average carbonation. Dry, malt and maple finish. Quite bad. BeerBunker (607), Burbank, Illinois, USA May 26, 2009 On tap at a local dive. Pours amber with a foamy white head. Aroma is of hops, caramel, spice, citrus, and malt. Smells very bland and uninviting. Taste is slightly hoppy with small notes of citrus. Has a caramel malt backbone that tastes lightly toasted. Finish has lots of spice. Mouthfeel is light and watery. Not too much to say about this one, it’s nothing special. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 19, 2009 Pours reddish amber and has notes of sweet corn syrup and malt. Sweet, light and tasty is a good way to describe the flavor. Smooth but couldn’t drink too many. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA May 17, 2009 12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a clear red amber with a medium head. Aroma is hops, some sweet caramel. Tastes lightly bready, touch of spice, toasted malt. Drink six pack bottles or more for certain - a nice, nice beer. houser1978 (5), Delaware, Ohio, USA does not count May 6, 2009 This was not bad. May have been better than it really was because of the atmosphere I drank it in.
