Bottle... Clear, amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. Soapy, yeasty nose. The flavor is lightly bitter. Medium-bodied and dry with moderate carbonation. Boring finish.

Mar 10, 2009 Bottle courtesy of j12601. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of caramel, earthy, fruity, yeasty. Tastes mildly bitter and sweet with some peppery splashes. There’s n underlying astringency to this that’s very off-putting.

Feb 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a garnet body with a tan head. Sweet malty caramel body, a bit thin and watery at that. Some light hoppy spicy notes and earthy rye bitterness to finish.

Feb 18, 2009 Had this on tap. Never a big fan of the style, but id say this is a slightly better than the majority. Caramel color, similar mouth with medium body. Would of liked to see something bigger here.

Feb 16, 2009 12oz bottle-pours a rich tan head that reduces to a ring and copper/red color. Aroma is mild medium malt-toffee. Later as it warms, some fruit too. Tast is medium malt-toffee, secondary earthy hops. Towards medium body. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

Feb 6, 2009 cask at Mahars. Pours dark brown with a small head. Flavor was watery even for a cask beer. Nothing good stands out here, just a below average session beer.

Feb 3, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown with white head. Very similar to other winters I have had, though a little weaker in strenght and taste. I would consider it a winter light beer.

Jan 25, 2009 Dark brown with nice off-white head. Malty nose. Rich and malty, full bodied. Still surprised it’s only 4.5% given the fullness of this brew. On tap at Dive 96 in NYC
