12 oz. bottle from a sampler. Bottled 071808. Reddish brown pour with a minimal head that disappears almost immediately. Nutty aroma with hints of caramel and hops. Taste is nutty, slightly bitter with some fruity notes in the finish.

On tap at Dulles while waiting for a flight. Small off-white head that diminished quickly and left a little lacing. Hazy amber/orange color. Moderate malt aromas offset by the slightest hops and some light doughy yeast. Unremarkable taste of slightly sweet malts with a bitter finish. Medium bodied, somwhat oily texture with a rather unpleasant matallic finish. Everything about this beer is "slightly". The Yuengling was better.

clear copper pour thick white head. Nice caramel apple aroma. Malty with a nice hop finish.

Pours clear copper with a very small white head. Good lacing. Good bubbling. Bready, malty, foody aroma. Good taste, slight dough, some malt and crystal water. Mouthfeel is refreshing and sparkling. Finish starts cleand and finishes malty and fizzy.

Amber color with a thick white head. Some caramel and apple juice in the aroma. Nice malty ale with a decent hop bitterness at the finish. Easy to drink and without flaws but not very exciting.

Appearance: Clear, copper body sporting a very thin white head. Smell: Very basic grainy pale malt aroma and little else. Sheesh. Taste: Some pale malts with a subtle sweetness and a hint of grain followed by a medium hop bitterness. That’s it. So painfully average you can’t help but feel a little sorry for it. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbontion. Drinkability: No. This beer shows the depth and charm of a homebrewer’s first half-hearted attempt at the style, maybe a lil’ less. Even if what you’re looking for is a session-type beer, there are many far better choices out there.

UPDATED: DEC 18, 2008 copper color, caramel flavor, full bodied, malty, like the hops in this one, very unique! everywhere i go they have it on tap.
