RSRIZZO (949), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Sep 19, 2007 Had this beer on 9/30/1998. Color is a rich amber with good carbonation and head. Aroma has a nice hop scent with light malt back tones. Taste is crisp and nice. It starts with a light bubbly body that goes down crisp and refreshing. The finish is also crisp with a fresh feel, lightly bitter and a nice light hop flavor. Its a well balanced brew with a nice fresh taste. Also it fits what a good Fall brew should be and this one would be wonderful on a cool Fall afternoon. BeerBlockaid (462), West Palm Biatch, Florida, USA May 29, 2007 A yeasty murky amber brown concouction with a lot of dust on the bottle. Medium fizzly head, an indication it was on its way beyond shelflife. Lots of caramello, toffe and some forestry brushed pine notes. Could have been a lot more "seasonal." Let’s make a happy little tree. OhioDad (2492), Hilliard, Ohio, USA Jul 25, 2006 12oz bottle pours amber with a short offwhite head. Aromas of caramel, and a bit of pine. Flavor is caramel, some toffee, and some citrus and pine notes as well. Medium bodied. Not much carbonation. Pretty average all around. nick76 (1970), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 16, 2006 The aroma has caramel malt and pine hops with some spice and fruit. The appearance is deep amber with a small head. The flavor is not the best. There are all the elements from the aroma plus some prunes, paper, and grass. The palate is typical for an amber ale but the aftertaste is acidic. Much like the last Boulder Beer I had, this one could be stale. TheBeerOrg (1371), Kentucky, USA Jan 9, 2006 Pours dark golden tending towards amber with a fully receding white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and flowery hops. Taste of sweet toffee, nutmeg, and toasted malts. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, slightly sticky. Very nice label, wish the beer was as impressive.
