On tap from the brewery in the Central West End. This was a rushed initial visit, so hopefully I can elaborate at a leter date. Anyway, the notes say...Red amber hue, Great head retention. Bicuit like and malty. Fruity and sweet. Nice malt note. Nutty and dry. Medium bodied. Smooth with a nice dry hop finish. Parallel rings of head all down the glass.

tap at brewpub-pours orange with a small white head. another diacytl bomb, but not as bad as the honey wheat. some noticible earthy hops under all the buttery diacytl on the nose. flavors are toasty, buttery, earthy hops, caramel notes, biscuity, and would be pretty good without that diacytl factor. i like the toasty malt undertone on the finish. really would be pretty good if it was clean.

On tap at the brewpub, 2/18/06: Average copper appeal with a big head. Slick feel and mellow hop bitterness. Average to good American brewpub amber.
