On tap at O’Briens. Poured a dark caramel orange, with a smallish whie head. Aroma of toffee, caramel, grass, fruit and citrus. Flavor was well hopped for the style, almost as much as an IPA. Nice balanced flavor with caramel and then grassy and fruity. Just solid, clean flavors; really good for the style. Skyview (4122), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA

Pours a clear amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head with good lacing and a thin white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, a touch of iced tea, and some piney hops. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of multi-grained caramel malt, some citrus and piney character with some earthy herbs. Finish is slightly bitter with a light iced tea aftertaste and a lingering mild bitterness. badlizard (2416), Berkeley, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 30, 2008 One of my favorites out of the sampler at the Elysian brewpub. An example of moderation, not too harsh, not too mellow; not too fizzy, not too carbonated, etc. Left me wishing I had ordered a full glass. LilBeerDoctor (1549), East Setauket, New York, USA

Flavor of sweet malt, slightly hoppy (citrus, pine), although the beer is dominated by the malt flavors. Some butteriness and burnt toast emerges in the finish. Nice and refreshing. cprochak (445), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
