Bottle via trade with Andrew - thanks! Mild caramel malt and some dusty earthiness. Okay, but not really my style typically.

Not my favorite. Like this brewery, and usually they do a great beer... but this one wasn’t that great... just okay.

bought a Half Pints Taster 12 pack one day for a buddy and I. The pour is a amber brown with a thin cap of beige head. The nose is light with some sweet biscuit and caramel, a light hop and some nuttiness. The taste is average and similar to the nose with a nice floral hop finish and a somewhat boring malt of light caramel and grains. A crisp brew with a somewhat light mouthfeel. Overall, a good session amber ale.

Bottle. Dark reddish, amber. A little bitter, quite refreshing. Another decent ale from Half Pints.

341mL bottle, pours orangey amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of dry caramel malts. Flavour of dried fruits (apricot, orange), caramel malts and a touch of sweetness. Quite decent amber.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 gramity (1057) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 15, 2011
Pours a semi-transparent golden orange colour with a half thumb of head which dissipates into islands with a little lacing.
A floral wheat scent, with a grassy finish. A bit of a nut malt also present and a very mild hop scent on the finish.
T - The mildest flavour from the Half Pints line-up that I’ve had the pleasure of trying to-date. That being said, it is still quite nice with a very sweet caramel, a bit of vanilla and some very light nutmeg flavour on the finish. The mild hops come through on a bit of a bitter finish, but the flavours are very nicely balanced.
M - Quite light on the palette, and bubbles up nicely on the tongue. Quite smooth.
D - Overall, quite a delicious amber ale, goes down smooth and has a nicely balanced flavour. Bit of sweet and a bit of bitter. Half Pints produces yet another winner in my books!
