Draft at Charlie and Jakes in Melbourne, FL. The head was large sized and ivory with fine sized bubbles that quickly and completely dissipated. The nose was moderately hoppy with a hoppy flavor. The body was uncarbonated and transparent with a red hue. The nose was moderately hoppy as was the flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth and this was a medium bodied beer with good lacing.

Good balance. Nice caramel/roasted flavor. Could use a bit more hops but it a nice smooth beer.

Draft at brewer. Copper pour with a thin off white head. Sweet malty scent. Taste is a rich balanced malty hoppy taste. Easy drinker here!

On draft at Charlie and Jake’s. Pours amber orange with a white head. Nose is a bit of malt with some caramel and hop presence. Flavor has malt up front and mild citrus hops in the finish. Light-bodied beer to start a session with.

Amber ale with a thin white head. Light malt aroma. In mouth, a smooth nutty malt with no hops, boring.On tap at brewpub, Jan. 6 2011.

tap. Clear orange / amber color. Aroma of sweet pale malts. Flavor of nutty malts. Nice mellow balance. Light bodied. Finishes with flavor of toasted grains, bread. Could use something else in it, honey perhaps...

Poured up on tap at the brewpub copper to near amber with slight haze and tiny white head. The aroma has smooth moderately roasted malts and some mild sweet citrus hops. The taste is much the same with a sweet citrus and malt mixture that runs the flavor from start to finish. Tasty offering with both malty backbone and solid hoppy bite.

slight aroma little carbonation very sweet maybe a little underattenuated thick not bad

Dark amber colour. Toasty, caramelly malts with woody cascade in the nose. Woody, but kind of odd taste, then the whole thing disappears from the palate.

A deep amber pour with light white head and lace. Roasted malt with almost no hops on the nose. A light cherry flavor, malty semi-sweetness followed by a nice hop bitter. Thin and a bit foamy but not through the roof. A good beer but just average. Nothing special but clean.

[905-20071204] Tap @ Charlie & Jake’s (Melbourne, FL). Faint aroma of grassy grains. Clear, dark red body with a quick foamy off-white head. Bitter malty grains and lemon flavour. Medium body is quite bitter. Nice hoppy beer.
