Beer Snob (348), Ontario, Canada Mar 26, 2004 A bit stronger than you'd expect. A novelty ale that seems to have a bit of effort behind it. Still, there's no reason - other than as a Purim gift - to buy this one.
17thfloor (636), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 19, 2008 Pours a dark unclear rust color with a nice beige creamy froth. Complex malt aroma, kinda toasty, with a nice hop bite. Wow! A lighter bodied pale with lots of unique flavor. That wheat malt really opens it up, some nice light toastiness, light caramel sweetness and medium citrus/floral hops to balance it out. Nice bitterness. Really great smooth fizzy carbonation. Yum, but the residual sugars can get to be a bit too much after a while. Narnad (68), Dundee, Illinois, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours from the bottle copper color with very little head. Aroma is sweet malt in scent with a little fruity/sweet hops aroma. Flavor begins with the flavor of sweet barely with a little of a wheat flavor detected. The flavor then moves into a slightly less sweet and more bitter malt flavor with a touch of a floral hops flavor. It finishes a little dry and the caramel flavor hangs around on the tongue well after the beer is gone. Flavors meld together very well and create a very complex flavor. Great ale! I will definitely be looking for more of their brews. boFNjackson (502), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 10, 2008 Bottle... Poured copperish-orange with an off-white head. Aroma of earthy malt and hops. Smooth and sweet with a dryness towards the finish. Very earthy and sugary malt with a mild bitterness from some hops. scotch4281 (35), Hollywood, Florida, USA Aug 3, 2008 A new favorite! This is a great beer in the tradition of Amber Ales. Right after drinking one, I went and purchased the 6 pack so I could share it. It gives my favorite a run for its money. alexsdad06 (618), Ohio, USA Aug 1, 2008 Bottled. Pours a clear amber with a fluffy white head. The aroma leans toward the malty side with lite fruity hops in the background. The flavor has mild sweetness, some fruit, weak bitterness from the small amount of hops. Might fill the needs of some as a summer session but not much else.
