3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Solid amber color with crisp head. Said to be hopped with Ahatnum and Simcoe, which has bit popping up a lot of recent in Big Tim brews. Moderately floral and fruity in aroma and flavor with a strong degree of bitterness that is more characteristic of a an amber.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught @ Brouwer’s Café: Deep amber, somewhat hazy, lively carbonation, a few rings of lacing. Muted malty nose, subtle hop, even a little floral. Malty tongue, smooth, soft sweetness, minor floral hoppiness.
Very well balanced. Good combination of malts and floral bitterness. Enjoying this one as it appears more malty than most I have had as of late. Full bodied, somewhat thick mouthfeel. Floral malty finish. I
am really impressed with this one.

On tap at WABL Brew Fest 2008. Pours clear dark apricot with a lacy white head. Medium body & light carbonation. Aroma and taste of rye, earth and nuts, with a ’peachy’ quality to the taste. Semi-dry and lightly sour finish. The rye comes out in this one from start to finish.
