2004 draught at brewery. Pours to a clear, orange/amber color with a small light tan head. Aroma: light to medium malts, easy citrus, sweet and spicey scents. Flavor: Pretty standard amber ale. Some light malt sweetness starts you off, then a little bit of spice (for an amber at least), then some crisp hops finish it off. Slightly watery, not bad.

2004 draught. Pours a light coppery orange with small light beige head. Aroma has some light citrus, brass and grains. Flavor is your typical average high volume micro amber. Some very distant fruit notes from the yeast, very watery and a bit too dry from the malting. Fresh hops overly apparent, which gives me something decent to focus on.

Sampled at Empire Brewfest. Slightly sweet malty aroma with a touch of hops in there as well. Transparent amber/copper color with a miniscule head. Malty start, with sweet hints. Some hops kick to bring up the rear. Slightly watery.

(Draught) Sampled at the Empire State Brewing Fesitval. Had a quick-dissipating head with a copper body. Nose and flavour were very hoppy and slightly smoked. Average.
