Dark copper pour, small white head. Aroma is bready and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel bigtime, some toasted malts and a touch of chocolate. Hoppy with some citrus undertones. Sticky and medium bodied it’s basically a weaker barleywine. Not bad.

Apr 26, 2008 Weak lemon grass aroma. Clear golden, no head. Tastes a bit like battery acid and lemon with candy underneath. Wheat and grass finish. Quite tart initially, quickly yielding to a pleasant bitterness.

Apr 13, 2008 12 oz bottle. amber color with a foamy head that disappears quickly. very floral amora. nice smooth malty taste, easy drinking with a light hop aftertaste. not a lot of carbonation which made it seem little sweeter.

Apr 13, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Clear bright ruby pour, average head - 4/5 for that lovely colour. Sweet malt with cherry and wood, light alcohol, floral and quite reminiscent of a mild Fullers Vintage Ale. Taste - follows - pungent floral bitterness, apricot and sweet citrus malt, increasing alcohol bitterness as it warms. Fairly thick body, syrupy and somewhat boozy in the finish - overall quite sweet, but it’s slightly balanced. Really reminded me of an ESA or English BW.

Apr 11, 2008 Sampled this on Draft. Strong Ale. Poured an amber color with a relatively thick head and quite a bit of lacing. Quite malty and sour with a malty, bitter aftertaste that lingers a little while. Overall, a strong and malty but not a bad beer. I’d get it again

does not count  Mar 29, 2008 Mediocre at best. A little too sweet for my liking, with a very unusual aftertaste. I won’t go in depth for it was covered well in previous ratings. I expected this to be more like an english style pale ale. I was wrong.
