COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

radagast83 (2201) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - SEP 22, 2009
12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a white head. Aroma is that of sweet malt. Flavor has a nice clean hop character to it, touch of honey. Overall it’s decent, but goes downhill as it warms so don’t leave this in the glass too long.

bottle, pours light brown with a medium off white head. Citrus hop aroma. Nice bready malt body with some citrus notes, mellow lingering sweet finish. Very enjoyable.

mkade8883 (250) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 5, 2009
Source: Extra from Garry. Thanks! Aroma: Really nice aroma of hop and a little malt sweetness. Clean and enjoyable at first, but becomes cloying for me by the end of the beer. Appearance: Attractive copper color with 1-2 fingers white head. Flavor: Clean caramel with some sweetness. Some nice hop flavor, but without much bitterness. A little too sweet for me. Palate: Nice lively carbonation ties this beer together. Overall: Not my favorite style, but seems like this could be a great session beer. Not overly complex, but a solid beer for sure.

12oz bottle. Perfect amber color, creamy white foam. Aroma of sweet malts, soft caramel, some honey. Flavor has a unique earthy grain along with some well balanced bitterness. Smooth and good. Finishes with a light honey flavor and light nuttiness. A great beer for the style.

kidmartinek (1757) - austin, Texas, USA - SEP 1, 2009
Pours a glorious, cloudy, amber and holds a thin off-white head. Dry barley malt aroma. Full maste taste with a good bitter finish that comes through strong. Full bodied, hoopy, and full flavored, this brew does not dissapoint.
