COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Its predominantly hoppy character and lighter body give it a subtle hop spiciness.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - MAR 16, 2006
(draft) Saw it on tap and knowing it wasn’t going to be around for long, decided to grab it. Crystal clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, light toast. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some earthy, peach, light floral. Light-medium body with light stickiness. A pretty run-of-the-mill brew that no one is likely to miss other than for nostalgia.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - MAY 3, 2004
Crystal clear, golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is of bisquits, gauze and clover honey... maybe some mint. Well-balanced flavor with a note of honey and mild tartness. Medium-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Lengthy, astringent finish.

CaptainCougar (6747) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - JUN 18, 2004
Pours a clear light copper with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is somewhat stale, but has nice caramel malty notes to it with a touch of nicely balanced hops. Body is lightly sweet and grainy with a mildly hoppy, smooth finish. Not that well balanced or complex, but a very drinkable brew.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 13, 2004
Deep straw colored with good head. Smells like malt and slight honey. Tastes malty, with some hops. Smooth, slightly yeasty and metallic finish. So so.

Radek Kliber (5171) - Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), POLAND - JAN 20, 2003
Copper red, white frothy head. Clear, crisp flavours, nice fresh bitterness. Very refreshing and fun to drink.

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - AUG 8, 2003
Copper orange with silky head. Smooth beer with little distinctive flavor. It has a bit of tang, otherwise this is just standard.
