This beer was better before it went organic. Now it is thin and does not have much flavor. Fairly malty with not enough hops to make it a bitter.

Bottle. Pours a light amber with light cola like body. Aroma is carmel malts with some odd out of place sourness. Taste was tart & sour with some onderlying caramelsweet malts. Not sure if this bottle went bad but down the drain it went after a sip or two

Decent, straightforward take on the style. I found this to be very pleasant and easy to drink. Pours a clear burnt auburn coloring, with a small but sticky tan head. Looks like a glass of iced tea. Earthy floral aroma, with a semi sweet caramel maltiness, toasted toffee and a bit of light fruitiness that lingers well into the finish. I must have had a fresh bottle, this tasted really nice to me compared to the other ratings.

12 oz beer. Porus a medium amber clear, lgiht carb, and a thin lasting head. Aroma is pretty weak- light caramel, some dusty toasted malts, stale lightly orange metallic hops. Stale toasted and crystal malts, cardboardy, with a slight earthyl pine sol and orange cleaner slick feel in the mouthfeel. Dry earthy finish. Tastes old, but was only bottled a couple months ago. What gives?

Taste 8/8( bottle Aug20/07). Looks: Copper with thin tight-bubble head. Aroma: Odd...very yeasty and cherry. Like a mild malty lambic. Taste: Thin to medium bodied, yeasty brew with a little cherry. Grain/straw with a very American ESB taste. No tea, more caramel and yeast/sour.

12 fl. oz. bottle via Lubiere, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: A lovely shade of deep auburn, clear, remnants of a light tan head. Aroma: Quite sour, almost a touch of lambic with the organic acids and a hint of funk, a little caramel malt behind that, sour cherries and other tart fruits, Palate: Medium body and carbonation, with some astringency. Flav.: An odd, sour fruitiness, a bit earthy and vinous, a touch of wood, slightly peppery (maybe); a bit tart, somewhat bitter with a mineral-malt finish that softens into brown sugar.

I think something is wrong here. Didn’t expect that much tang. Maybe the pesticides act like preservatives...
