&#40;12oz bottle&#41; Clear golden body with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, fruity. Taste is moderately sweet, cereal, some peach syrup, alcohol laden. Medium body, some stickiness.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with ughsmash &#40;thanks!&#41;. Poured a medium and clear golden/amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of spiciness, citrus, and biscuity. Tastes of the same. Thinner body. Boring.

Pours a transparent bright golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of slightly sweet caramel malt with a touch of citrusy hops. Body starts fairly full and malty sweet with a touch of DMS and some earthiness toward an overly-bitter, dry finish. Not very true to style, and has a strange balance to it.

At 7.1/7.2 this ain’t no average amber. Lightly hazed golden color with a moderate creamy off-white head. Light candy fruit aroma. Really not a whole lot to "talk" about. Lots of light fruit and syrup in the flavors. Cotton candy, corn syrup and a dash of malted milk come to mind. Not quite a malt liquor, but real close to it. Mouth-coating and somewhat syrupy in feel. An ale with an attitude, but I’m not a fan of this ones disposition.
