3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a clear reddish amber color with a smallish antique white head. A crisp aroma of caramel, grains, and some spiciness. Thin to medium-bodied on the way down. A tad sweet upfront in the taste with some caramel and a rich breadiness. A hint of vanilla in the background. A fairly dry finish with the slightest touch of bitter citrus. Some graininess and subtle spiciness all the way through. Light, refreshing, and drinkable, but far from the most exciting thing out there.

Pale clear orange. Lemon zest and lightly hoppy aromas. Taste is citrus, more lemon. I don’t know why, but my notes say "good and sort of icky." What’s that about?

UPDATED: JAN 4, 2012 Draft at the source. Hazy yellow/gold color. Nice citrus and grass aroma. Taste was funky lemongrass. Unique.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Light orange color, clear, foamy tan head. Medium body, mild flavor with a finish that let’s the spice linger. Malty, hoppy aroma-- mild, not sharp. Reasonable beer, a little light on taste maybe, but I would order again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Growler-Poured a cloudy amber color w/a slight head & a few "floaters" in the brew. This beer was kind of hard to pin down, had some hop flavor up front, a little more than I expected from this style, but it was still a smooth, easy drinking brew. Had traces of caramel, but not quite as much malt as I expected. Had a dry, crisp finish; kind of thin. Not a bad brew overall, a definite session brew.

Amber color with white head. Malty aroma. Malty caramel flavor with some hops. Smooth beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at the brewery, in a pint glass one night and from a tower another. The aroma was not heavy, but pleasant, featuring mostly malty caramel notes, with some underlying earthy hops. It had a clear, copper-amber color with a moderately sized, foamy white head. Good flavor, mostly sweet and crisp, with a mix of bitterness. Did well on the palate with a subtle, fizzy carbonation, but was somewhat thin and a bit dry. Overall it was a good seasonal option and fun to try.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Growler... Clear, deep amber lager with a large, frothy, cream-colored head. Toasted caramel, praline and bread in the aroma. The flavor is all toasted caramel and bread with herbal hops. Good balance. A tad thin. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel with gentle carbonation. Finishes crisp and clean.
