frankenstein (64), Livermore, California, USA Jul 18, 2008 Pleasantly surprised, very tasty. If I were to compare this to Sierra Nevada, this would beat Sierra hands down. Great balance of malt and hops. AgentSteve (747), Livermore, California, USA Jul 18, 2008 Thanks to Valley Steve for this one. Pours an interesting dark copper with minimal head. Nose is quite maly and mellow sweet. The flavor is quite enjoyable with malt dominating, an earthy mid, and a very subtle hop dry finish. Not a hint of alcohol. Smooth on the palate. rkuhnel (1096), Eureka, California, USA Apr 30, 2008 From a 12 oz bottle this poured a very clear light copper color with a nice fat white head and good lacing. Off to a good start. The nose is of caramel malts with whiffs of citrus and fruity hops. Medium mouthfeel but smooth. Flavor is of hops, and the finish is nicely bitter. Pretty easy to drink. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 10, 2008 Bottle> Pure amber, highly active, bringing an enticing activity level and a living head. The aroma is alluring as well, full of sweet cereals. As if the intent all along was to stick to the breakfast theme, this drinks like a liquid Wheat Chex, full of rich, malty cereal grains, but enticingly sweet and enjoyable. quite a good beer, actually.(#3397, 4/10/2008) bhensonb (2861), Woodland, California, USA Aug 20, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Dark citrus aroma along with sweet caramel and light stone fruit. Nice amber color with a white head that quickly filmed. Thin to medium body. Near creamy carbonation. The flavor is complex. Earth, citrus, caramel, tobacco?, light stone fruits. The finish is earthy hop, and a touch of orange. Really something good.
