Sep 22, 2009 An amber color beer with no head. The aroma is a very interesting hoppy-fruity scent. This is the hoppiest amber I’ve had yet & is quite different than most beers I’ve tried. It is like the hops & malt meet each other at the center of your taste then goes down smoothly.

Sep 22, 2009 Pours a hazy amber brown color. Moderate white head with decent retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malt, maple and grapefruit hops. Flavor is similar, but with a stronger presence of fruity and pine hops. Nice contrast of malty sweetness and hoppy bite. Medium mouthfeel. Very interesting and enjoyable.

Sep 21, 2009 Pours amber with thin wispy tan head. Notes of light grapefruit, citrus, caramel, sweet malt. Medium bodied with moderate resins and carbonation. A pretty tasty beer, perhaps a bit closer to APA.

Sep 20, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy typically carbonated red brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The nice aroma was hoppy and caramel malt. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mellow finish. The flavor contained notes of mild spice caramel mildly vinous Irish red malt and mild brown malt. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again. Very nicely done. More please!

Sep 20, 2009 A solid amber ale. Brown with a thick head. A little hazy. Light grain aroma. Flavor has loads of malt and grain. Fairly good palate. At the top of its style.

Sep 19, 2009 Had on draft from a pitcher. Appearance was - believe it or not - amber. The aroma was a lot hoppier than I was expecting - with the flowery hops really coming through. The first sip brought some bitterness from the hops, again hoppier than I expected for an amber, but it was balanced nicely in the finish by caramel malt. Beer got better as it warmed up.
