Bottle from fellow Dark Brotherhood Of Kevin, member uh, Kevin Danke!

Pours a thick, lush amber... almost like sap in the glass. Aroma is Cheerios. No kidding. Just like sniffin’ a new bag of the toasted oat cereal that bears that name. Flavor is like a weird watered down apricot with a spiky hop finish. Malt is in there smoewhere, but the weirdness of the taste seems to jumble it up too much. Second sip seems much more balanced. More hops detected. Okay, now this stuff has turned to water...

Bottle: poured light to medium brown color wish light head and faint malt aroma. Slight sour taste with mild bitterness

Light brown pour with a red glare and thin gray ring that passes as a head. Trail mix nose; nutty herbs and raisins and plums and a bit of smoke. Flavor is sweet with a woody finish that is dry. The apricot flavor is not bad here, it mixes with a nice roast note. Not a bad beer. Ap-3 ar- 7 tas- 6 pal-4 ov-14

Amber color with no head. Malt "alt" aroma too it. Not entirely sure what makes that smell. Pretty mild with a little big of a bit to the finish. Easy enough to drink.

amberish color, toffee like after taste, mild beer, easy to drink, could easily see this as a session

Draught at brewpub. Pours amber to ruby wtih a white edgy head. Light malt and yeast aroma with a slight hoppy nose. Yeasty malt (meal) flavor with a fizzy hop finish. Medium bodied and thin, spicy palate.

Draft. An interesting beer. I had this while waiting for a much delayed flight out of the Louisville airport. Poured a dark amber with a thick head, though that might have been the bartender’s sloppy pour. Very pleasant flavor, but not exceedingly strong in anything. An easy drinker.

A great Amber Ale. I really liked this one - Cincinatti airport has this always on draught. Very balanced with a nice hoppy finish. I could drink this all night.
