Growler Swap from hopdog. Thanks Steve. Copper colored beer with a thin beige head. Aroma of nice toffee candies with fruity hops rounding it out. Flavor is much of the same with some nice tropical fruits too. A nice drinkable session ale.

Firkin at North Wales location. Pours a mostly translucent amber with golden notes and a medium creamy/bubbly off white head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, nuts, tea, a bit earthy and hoppy...also a bit fruity. Flavor of caramel, nuts, kind of dry a hint of honey and hops.

On draft at the Lancaster location. Poured copper in color with a medium sized frothy beige head. Aroma slightly hoppy. Taste is of caramel malts and mild English hops. Slight touch of earthiness to it. Good body. Very drinkable, and not too bad.

From my long lost notes, sampled at the Newark, DE location in August, 2004. Poured a hazy amber with a thin, creamy off-white head. Pleasant aroma of caramel and malt. The flavor was again caramel and malt, but balanced well against some moderate hops bittenress. Very smooth. I paired this with a prime rib dinner and enjoyed both very much!

Cask in North Wales back in Dec. Poured a cloudy orange body with a creamy off-white head. Very nice citrus hop nose. Flavor starts off with a bold carmel malt taste followed up by a sweet citrus finish and a nice bitterness.
