12 ounce bottle- poured out a warm orange-gold with a small yellow head that did not last. Aroma was malt with a slight floral undertone. Very smooth palate, crisp malt taste with a slight sweetness. Enjoyed this, my 99th.

Hearty malt presence, caramel vanilla character is nice fairly well balanced and and the body is pretty quenching -really not awful all together.

This was a decent ale. It had an extremely quick finish. Not a beer that stays with you. I won’t search this one out, but then again, I wouldn’t turn one down.

amber pour. sweet caramel malt aroma. also a sweet malt taste with just a tiny bit of hops on the finish. not a typical amber taste. not the worst every, but definitely not something I’d seek out.
