I’m pro-organic in general, and I applaud brewers who attempt to brew organic beer. But is it just me, or do a lot of them seem, I dunno, boring? I mean this one is OK, I guess, maybe a little stale or something.

Aug 19, 2008 12 oz. Nearly opaque red-brown with a small lasting spit. Aroma of dusty grain. Initial flavor of toasty nut and dusty grain is overtaken by tart cherry and prunes. Light-medium body is too fizzy and acidic-astringent. I think this one was infected.

Jul 2, 2008 Thin off-white head of fine bubbles. Light roasty and nutty aroma, herbal notes and some strange compost aromas. Nice dark copper brown in color. Mild malty flavor with some tea and a bit of roasty bitterness. Lingering herbal notes and bitterness. Finishes dry and bitter tea. Not my cup of tea.

Jun 28, 2008 On draft (Cafe Japan, Santa Rosa, CA): Reddish amber with effervescent carbonation, and a thin head.
Aroma of malt with hint of black tea and carmel.
Fresh ale. Round malt tone masks moderate hop dryness. No fruit, hint of black tea.
Signature of this medium-light bodied amber is that it is classic for style- and organic.

May 31, 2008 Nice dark orange/amber color with a small beige head. Simple aromas of dry malt and caramel. Quite fizzy in feel. Light caramel start. Some vague bitterness in the middle. Fairly dry and bitter finish and linger. Boring is about as good as it gets.
