zeke626 (194), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA May 2, 2008 Bottle, pours a hazy orange with yellowish white head. Aroma of light floral hops and citrus. Flavor is more of the same with a nice, smooth, bitter hop tone. Nothing outstanding, but a very drinkable session beer.

A recent addition to the Ohio beer network I was looking forward to trying one of the Flat Earth releases. Three are currently available with hopefully more on the way. This brewery is now on the agenda for the Great Taste of the Midwest if they show up again.
Aroma / Appearance - The carbonated one finger pure white head settled above an amber hued body. Wheat, white wine and canned pears formed a combination that was more complex than I was expecting at first.
Flavor / Palate - The first sip combined sun tea and molasses. Next came brown sugar. More full bodied than expected this was a nice find and a new addition to the Ohio beer scene. The bitter finish left enough of a mark that I would try this on tap if I ever found it available. I wish more lighter styles were this good. Ibrew2or3 (1613), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jul 15, 2008 Courtesy of ’who brought this beer?’. Pours copper with a bit of haze and thin off white head. The aroma is sweet with date sugariness, sugary crystal malts, a bit of caramel and faint cherry. The taste attacks you with carbonation bringing in some ‘off the mark’ tartness along with lemon too. Soon after a caramel and date note both rise up to add a sweet fruity sensation. gunhaver (541), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 14, 2008 Bottle, courtesy still def. Pours a clear brownish copper color, with a giant foamy white head and huge lacing. Some bitter hops in the nose, caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Somewhat subdued, though. Flavor has a lot of malts, sweet caramel, butterscotch, brown sugar, some spices. Nice. Mouthfeel is great, carbonated and filling, very enjoyable. jjpm74 (2760), Connecticut, USA Jun 30, 2008 Pours copper with a thin pinkish head. Smells of roses, some caramel, some citrus. Tastes sweet and malty with some decent biscuity touches on the finish. sebletitje (147), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 22, 2008 Curtesy of Gunhaver. Pours amber with a very thick head. Aroma of caramel malt, well balanced. Average.
