Draft as a guest Otto’s beer. Poured coppery with off-white head. Nose was earthy, resiny hops, with flora white ppery spice. Tasted of caramel malt, with floral citric hops in the finish. Crisp, floral, and somewhat dry.

Had on draft @ The Gamble Mill brewpub, in Bellefonte, PA, USA .. first stop of the day - bitter caramel .. low foam .. low bitters .. like an english pale .. copper hops .. easy going .. . . he did it! he accidentally did it!!

Draft. Pours clear copper with thin, fizzy off-white head; short retention and some lacing. Aroma is grassy and floral hops, caramel, and wheat. Flavor is medium caramel and biscuit malts, heavy grassy hops, and light citrus esters; slightly bitter, dry finish. Medium body and carbonation with low warmth.

Tap. Pours clear amber with a medium, fizzy white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is light caramel malt, nutty, fruity esters, and citrus hops. Flavor is moderate hops, medium bitterness and malt, fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium-light body, low warmth and medium carbonation.

A bit of floralness on the nose. Pours a dark golden color with a thin head and leaves no lacing. Nice hop action on the tongue. Finishes clean.

On tap at The Gamble Mill. Nice citrusy pine hop aroma with mild caramel sweetness and a bit of soap. Deep golden amber clear with thin white head. Medium body and carbonation. Starts medium dry with light caramel and brown sugar sweetness. Rounded bitterness to start that gets stronger and more chalky at the finish. Nutty dry, mild astringent after. Decent pale ale.

Sample at brewpub. Pours red/amber with small white head. Piny citrus nose. Sweet caramel backbone with moderate bitter, citrus and resiny, astringent finish and after. Well played.

Pours clear amber with little head. Light hop aroma but not much else. A very nice piney hop flavor and great body. Light bitter finish. Would be a good session PA.

On tap at the brewpub. Darker than average copper pour, with a strong hop scent and nice malts. Flavors are solid, robust and clean. This place knows its hopwork, in my opinion. Lemony, floral and bold citrus hop flavors over a working man’s malt sugars. Balanced, consistent and drinkable.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2011 Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a red-caramel-brown color with a large foamy beige head that lingered forever and produced great lacing. The aroma was moderately strong spicy and fruity hops though a bit vague. The flavor was dryish and a bit harsh with moderate fruity and floral hops and touches of grapefruit and pine. The finish was long, dry and peppery with a bit of grapefruit lingering. Moderately full bodied. Decent.
