tap. Not a whole lot to this beer. Poured a copper color with a tan head. No real distinctive aromas. Lacking any real discernable flavors resembling an amber. Looked great jusy didnt taste that way.

Nice lacing and head retention on this one. Copper body and a nose of something sweet, fruity (grapes), and malt. Taste is sweet and slightly bitter. It is nice to see an amber ale that does not rely on hops as its backbone. Actually quite nice and drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. Clear amber colored ale with some nice sheets of lacing. Sweet coppery and malty taste. Syrupy mouthfeel.

Poured from tap into pint glass. Produced a clear amber body with a small off-white quickly diminishing head. From first pour, the ale had no discernible nose, yet nothing offensive. Slightly bitter, this was a balanced brew with average hops and malt, producing a clean flavor. Not too shabby.

Draught at the brewpub
Hazy amber color. Both the aroma and the flavor show some sugar, and of course some caramel taste; the mouthfeel is quite dry, because of the medium-high bitterness. Simple.

Tap @ Brewpub with Nuffield. Rating from 2004 notes. Copper color. Light malts and flavors with some cardboard and hints of toasted malts.
