Sampler at brewery. Light floral hop notes with pale malts in aroma. Clear amber copper no head. Light pale malt flavor with some honey and grain and touch of tea like floral hop flavor. Not a bad amber.

Mahogony body with no real head. Malty aroma, wheat bread is evident. Smooth sweet taste, some grains. Sweet and light spicey ending.

Reddish brown color, clean and clear with no foam. Toffee and maple flavor. Silky texture, small bite. Really tastes like a desert beer. Makes me wann eat chocolate. Small amount of hops in the finish.

Pefectly clear copper body (slightly tarnished penny). The aroma is slight and realy not worth mentioning. The flavor starts with a punch of caramel and graham crackers.

on tap-pours a light tan head with copper color. Aroma is sweet medium malt-roasty. Taste is medium malt-roasty, spice hops. Dry finish. OK carbonation.

amber red with very slight off white lacing. Aroma was honey, grain and a little cloying. Flavor was fruit, and a little cough syrup.

coppery, rusty hue with small off-white head. very low aroma. decent malty flavor with a mild toastiness. fairly light body with very little hop character.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2006 This was the first tasted. Again all these products are on the thin side. This beer had some hints of honey and clover. There were no hops flavors. The color was a ruddy copper. I am not a fan.
