From an old rating note: 12oz bottle Kate brought back from Washington trip. Clear amber pour with a medium creamy looking white head. Aroma is earthy hops, caramel and honey. Bready grain flavor with mild citrus hops backing it up.

Bottle. Aroma very toasted with a good deal of herbal, floral, and citrus hop notes, though these notes never overwhelm the toasty malt. Flavor continues to be malt forward with hop notes that remain in the background but still pop. The definition of smooth and drinkable. A great session brew.

Update 4/1/10: Growler of the Dry-Hopped version of this beer. Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, pale malts, light fruits, biscuit, jam. Flavor of sweet fruits, jam, and iced tea up front with a bready, biscuity finish. Pretty tasty as the original!

12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Pours deep copper with a big white head. Aroma is heavy on apple juice for some reason, mild caramel and citrus hops. Flavor is soapy, citrus, big caramel malts. Subpar offering from a typically mediocre brewery.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tastes nearly identical to their Irish Ale. A very good basic beer that does not seem watered down like most of the more main stream beers.
