Crystal clear gold amber almost non existent white head. Aroma light malt, light citrus hops. Taste of great balance of hops with light maltiness, finishing with a great peat flavor and drying out. Aftertaste is very light and very mildly bitter. Better than I expected. Decent medium mouthfeel on the palate with a bit of a bubbly undercurrent. Overall I like this beer.

Light caramel and pineapple bouquet. Muddy ochre pour with no head. Pleasantly woody, with an ashy walnut finish. Decidedly not hoppy.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy copper with ivory head. The aroma is some sweet grains and mild spicy hops. The flavor is sweet and cereal with some cotton candy, toast. The finish dries out just a touch with spicy hops. Ok, but uninteresting.

Not the greatest beer, but a very nice hop bite too it that some amber ales lack a bit.

Tap at the Dominion Brewhouse. Pale amber pour. Clean and fruity aroma of apples and wood. Very little actual presence. Chlorine and black tea bitterness are the most obvious tastes. Crisp citrus rind and a dull floral glimmer on the back. Sedated with a weight of icy temperature that digs its heels in for the duration. Finishes mildly sweet, and earthy, like sugared yerba. Slightly watery in the mouth; light carbonation lends a disproportionate prickle. Generally restrained ingredients. It’s a reasonable balance of featherweights.

Bottled 06-22-07. Clear orange-copper with a small head that tries to hang around. Aroma of honeyish malt, marshmallows and earthy spices. Taste is honey with spiced pecans n’ caramel at first (yet not very sweet), turning to a stronger nutty flavor and drying in the middle; finally comes to a just-right bitter finish. Bitter herb and nutty cereal aftertaste. Palate is almost medium-bodied and fairly smooth with high carbonation and a drying hop tingle on the end. Excellent, full-flavored session ale.
