Nov 6, 2003 Light bronze-amber. Husky, slightly breadcrusty aroma leans towards earthiness. Malty flavour with some light earthy hopping (seemed fuggley to me but I didn’t verify that). Sweetish, earthy, field-like finish.

Mar 10, 2008 Bottle… Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Toffee, caramel and honey nose with lesser notes of unidentified fruit. Barely medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Leans on the bitter side of balance while providing restrained flavors of toffee and fruit. A touch bland. Short, crisp finish.

Jul 8, 2007 12oz bottle-pours a thin retaining light tan head and dark amber color. Aroma is a bit weird/odd, maybe some chocolate-medium malt, funky/musty. Taste is nicer than the aroma. Medium malt-sweet caramel/some chocolate, secondary hops-slight bite. OK/mild carbonation.

Jan 5, 2006 Any first impressions?
-A luxurious head slowly collapses onto the filtered copper.
-Deeply breaded pils malt aroma recalls the opening of a box of croutons (with a little garlic too?)
-An intriguing, well-rounded caramel, butterscotchy maltiness is nourishing.
What if you dig deeper?
-Citrusy hop flavor roams, and a touch of green hop bitterness rises after the important caramel maltiness.
-Some peachy, papaya-like fruitiness hugs the malt sweetness.
-The fine carbonation serves the malt structure well.
-It doesn’t stand out amidst other well-brewed amber ales/red ales, apart from that hugely bready perfume.
Bottle; best before August 2006.
