Nov 7, 2006 Bottle. Slightly hazy orange/copper. with a moderate frothy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt and light citrus hops. Flavor of cereal/caramel malt with a light citrusy tartness. Kind of like over-lemony under-sweetened commercial iced tea.

Nov 3, 2006 good golly gosh! another from this infamous 8pk sampler found in Boulder, CO. If you’re able to find it fresh, please ignore this recollection meant mainly for me. This managed to be a tad better than the others, but still had a tart funkiness that I can’t imagine was intentional.

Oct 10, 2006 Draft at the Durham World Beer Festival. Amber with no head. Bready, biscuity, floral hop. Flavor follows. Eh. Nothing really wrong, just eh.

Sep 27, 2006 Poured a dark amber color with small head and not much lacing. Aroma was a little woody but not oak, and floral. Flavor has the same woody taste floral hops and breadyness to it. Not bad not amazing.

Sep 25, 2006 Poured a deep amber to copper color with a weak initial head that didn’t stick around or lace very well. The aroma was of cedar and floral hops, sweet bready malts. The flavor was cedar and floral hops over top of toffee, caramel, and bready malts, slight spicing. Mouthfeel was moderate, a little malty thick as it warmed. I enjoyed this more than others did.

Sep 22, 2006 Orangey/amber in color with a thin lightly tan head. Citrusy fruit aromas with some caramel malt and a surprisingly low amount of hopiness. Seems to have a better balance of fruit, malt and hops on the palate than the nose. A definite touch of sweetness. A bit thin in the mouthfeel. Loses some points on drinkability due to a slightly cloying finish.
Overall an okay beer, but a bit disappointed after hearing so many other beer drinkers talk it up. (Judging from my fellow RATEBEER reviewers I guess I’m not the only one.)
Out of the ESBs I’ve tried to date this was just not doing it for me.

Sep 20, 2006 I liked this beer more than most. Copper colored body with a thin head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Body was a bit thin, but had a nice blend of sweet maltiness and hops.
