12 oz, bb 01/29/09. Clear, darkish copper with a small head. Light soapy lace. Mild aroma of spicy split wood, orange and resin. Tastes of earthy grain, sourish apple, caramel, toasted nut. Orange-cocoa on the finish. Light-medium body is a little too watery but has a nice dry finish. This seems more of an amber ale than a blond.

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours amber with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt, oranges, doughy. Tastes earthy with a weird citrussy aftertaste.

Bottle from trade with DAKNOLE. Pours a coppery brown colour with a medium head that melts quickly. Aroma is mostly caramely malt plus a litt sugar at the end. More sweetness than anything else in the flavour with a little bitterness in the finish but not really "hoppy". Average but probably much better on a Key West beach.

Tasted at Florida Beer Company in Melbourne, FL. Pours an amber-orange color with off-white head. Aroma is grain, hay, flowers, malt, some faint sweetness. Flavor is malty and slightly sweet with some ripe fruit and maybe a hint of chocolate at times. Light body with some bitterness on finish.
