Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville. Pours an orange brown with minimal head. Sweet aroma of caramel, corn and tea. Grainy, grassy taste with a touch of sweetness. Drinkable.

Jun 25, 2008 Bottle. Copper pour with a strong white head. Aroma is slightly nutty and spicy with caramel, toasty malts, and light flowery hops. Taste is spicy and floral hops, toasted malts, soft caramel, some earthiness and grass. Body is medium but strongly carbonated. Prickly dense bubbles lead to a lot of belching. The finish is more toasted malts, caramel, light grass, floral and spicy hops and a touch of iced tea.

May 29, 2008 This poured a coppery colour, maybe a little heavier and had a very creamy texture to the finish. aroma was somewhat syrupy or oak, something close to that. nice overall.

May 25, 2008 This does not have a very outgoing smell. It looks good held up to the light. The head lingers a bit as a sign of quality. The flavour is malty, scarcely noticeable of hops which are allegedly in the finish. The palate is smooth and pleasant. Overall, a refined taste, but perhaps too conservative to yield much returns for your money (in investment speak). What I mean is, it’s not too different - the best thing about this beer is its smoothness.

May 24, 2008 Amber with a thin white head. Aroma of mild caramel and light hops. Taste is malty and bland – mild caramel and cardboard. Mild bitterness on the back end, there’s just not enough going on here to get me excited.
