ChillCoat (1030) - Concord, California, USA - DEC 2, 2004
UPDATED: AUG 11, 2005 On tap at the Brew Pub (Before it closed). This was a my Fav B.D beer. Pours a nice light, clear amber. Carmel and malty aroma with a florally hoppy smell. Taste is just slightly bitter with a good malt backbone. More of an English style ale.

You how some breweries beers all have a similar taste base on their core recipe. That’s the way this brewery is. All their beers have a bent towards Belgium flavor. For what I paid they are pretty good. 2.99 a six pack.

bhensonb (7579) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 16, 2007
Nutty malt aroma, along with some hop. Clear copper color with a frothy white head. It laces somewhat. Starts with some floral hop, quickly followed by marvelous malt. The combination results in a toffee/caramel aspect. Amazingly enough the finish is relatively dry. The result is something difficult to describe, but it is quite nice. Leaves a dry bitter in the mouth. Marvelous.

asedzie (522) - San Francisco, California, USA - MAY 7, 2009
Pours golden brown with medium off-white head. Slight lacing. Very assertive aroma of carmelized malt, light toast, floral and spicy hops. Flavor is well balanced, mildly sweet, fruity hops. Lingering bitterness and hop freshness on the palate. A very nice sessionable amber.

Nebulor (109) - , California, USA - MAR 6, 2009
Malt aroma with florals. Pours a hazy amber color with an apricot hue, minimal white head, and some action. Has a bit of a sour taste with esters. Light/medium bodied, watery/resin feel, with soft carbonation. Not as good as their Blond Ale.

mjg74 (2138) - La Mesa, California, USA - JAN 29, 2008
Bottle from BevMo online. Light amber in color upon pouring. Dry malty aroma with a slightly spicy English hop character. Very bitter English hoppiness. Dry bready malt finish. More like a hoppy ESB than a typical American amber.

hayduke (2528) - Eureka, California, USA - APR 22, 2008
From a 12 oz bottle that cost $1.39 at Corti Bros in Sacramento, this poured a nice amber with a nice off-white head and excellent lacing. Nose of caramel malts and light floral hops, medium mouthfeel, and flavor that was slightly sweet, and overall it was very easy to drink.
