KajII (710) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - JUN 1, 2012
Can. The pour was a cloudy medium orange with a slight pink hue and an average sized (1-2 finger) off white frothy head that receded slowly, down to a thin cap with a large collar creating some good streaky lacing. The aroma was moderately heavy of a biscuit malt, floral and cascade hops and an earthy yeast with notes of caramel, citrus (grapefruit) and a mild fruity ester (apple). The taste was lightly malty sweet with a hint of caramel from the onset, becoming a light bitter sweet with a nice touch of hops and citrus towards the end. The flavor was somewhat short in duration with a light sweet grapefruit flavor left behind. Mouthfeel was light in body and watery in texture with a light to medium carbonation. Overall a tasty Amber Ale that was lightly fruity sweet with a nice hoppy feel and a great drinkability...

Can from Bruisin Ales. Pours amber with a half inch khaki head that disappears quickly. Not much on the nose. A bit copperish on the tongue. Also has a bit of slickness to it. Not feeling this one.

Al naso molto erbacea nn troppo fruttata, al palato invece mielosa con un finale amaro ottimo. Buon corpo ed equilibrio. ---Rated BY Italianbeer85

Pour is a clear brown with a large tan head. Aroma is of some sweet malt. Flavor is again a nice sweet malt with some butterscotch and green tea. Finish leaves quickly but leaves a nice sweetness on the tounge. Better than average amber with a heavier mouthfeel than most others.

OKplus (549) - Oklahoma, USA - APR 2, 2013
A - Pours a hazy red amber with a descent 2 finger head that retains well. S - Kind of an earthy cookie dough malt aroma. T - Caramel, toffee, maple, and brown sugar with a side of nutty bread. Some earthy pine mutes out some of the sweetness and adds a bite at the end. M - Moderate carbonation, medium body. This has some distinct aromas and flavors. Lots of earth and nuts. The aroma reminded my of something that I just couldn’t make out. I would drink this again. Serving type: bottle 11-28-2010

hfmejias (397) - Dover, Delaware, USA - MAR 29, 2013
12 Fl. Oz. Can. Poured a darker amber, clear with a nice frothy off white head. Aroma is quite floral with some hints of citrus fruits and I’m also sensing some caramel notes. Taste is very sweet, malty and very moderate bitter finish; medium body and nice carbonation making it a very crisp brew. Quite nice after all.

12 ounce can from Hayduke. We had it together via facebook chat. This pours clear light brown. Sediment in the form of clouds slowly settle. A 4 finger beige head is fluffy and leaves nice lacing. The aroma is citrus indicates a nicely hopped beer. Sweet malts, too. The flavor is also on the sweet side and it has rich malts and pleasant fruit. Bitterness is very low. An aftertaste that features honey. Some floral notes. A nice beer.
