darkish - cloudy amber color - aroma is citrusy with a hint of spice and roasted malt. Flavor is a little sweet, but with a lingering bitter finish. Not bad, but it just didn’t come together for me.

Poured a slightly cloudy copper yellow with hardly a head. Slight hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Nice crisp hop bite with a long slightly bitter finish in the back of the throat that mellowed for awhile. A nice refreshing beer, worth a try

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Copper color with small beige head.Mildy hopped with light spice flavor. Thinner body. That’s all I remember about this beer, nothing special here.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and copper color with effervescence. Aroma is mild medium fruit, some spice. Taste is medium fruit, some spice/earthy/wood-hops-peppery, medium malt-a bit of molasses. Occasional. OK carbonation.

Bottle poured a light copper, almost orange. Small to medium white head. Aroma of caramel malt, spice, slightly sweet and some hints of floral. Flavor was pretty bland and forgettable. A subdued caramel malt presence; a little bready and not much else. Hop finish was barely detectable. Deserves the overall poor rating; another weak before from geary’s.

Bottle: Poured completely still, bronze, with just a thin fizzy of a head. Nice aroma of hops, strawberries, bit of floral goodness. Also nicely flavored -- lightly sweet malt, lightly mixed with a hint of spicy hops, and again with an almost strawberry note, this is a nice flavorful brew. (#2969, 6/9/2007)
