Clear amber with small off-white head. Aroma is caramel/toffee, light sweet, slight herbal. Taste is medium sweet caramel/toffee. Finish is toffee and herbal/grassy bitter. Light/medium body.

Had a pitcher of this at the eight-lane Pla-Mor Lanes in Chilton. Wasn't too fond of it at first, but its flavor developed more after a few sips. It kind of grew on me. I'm not a big fan of ambers, but this was very drinkable.

Last one of the 11 brews tried at the brewpub in one afternoon. Pours an off-redish amber with a thin white head that reveals a good lacing patern inside the glass. Aroma is sweet caramel, walnuts, some citrus and flowery hops. Taste is smooth with a citrus and caramel after taste. Finish is very well balanced with some nut character to the palate. Quite nice.

Slight caramel nose/flavor, buttered popcorn, very smooth, good sweet/dry balance at the end.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a strong butterscotch note with some sweet grains and a bit of light fruit. Flavor has a bit of sweet grain and bread but it is mainly full of butterscotch. Off putting.

Pours to a beautiful amber/garnet colored body with a thin white head that has nice lacing. Kind of has a marzen aroma. The flavor has a sweet nutty taste. Medium bodied and creamy.

sampled at brewpub-Chilton, WI. Overall, pretty standard for the par, but definate cascade hops in the finish(even the brewer said so!!)
