Bottle pours a hazy chesnut brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel, rye, and maple. Slightly sweet tlavor is mostly malt and carmel with a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an orange-amber with a decent creamy, off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, and a hint of floral hops. Flavor sweet, malty, caramel with a nice bitter hop finish. Pretty good beer, I will be having more.

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.

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.

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.

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.
