DasBierChef (953) - Lucan, Minnesota, USA - NOV 19, 2011
A decent aroma is the only highlight of this otherwise lackluster beer. A neat trip into the past, but still pretty mediocre.

jrallen34 (3445) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 11, 2011
Draft... Super dark but xlear gold, copper in the middle, nice light tan head... Caramelly grass body, a bit off, too sweet... Taste is blah, boring, nothing new, sweet pale

marcus (4065) - Sacramento, California, USA - MAR 9, 2011
On tap at the brewpub. Pours medium brown, much darker than pale, with a modest beige head and a coffee aroma. There is a hearty caramel malt flavor with a chalky bitter finish.

wyzzywyz22 (1524) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - DEC 27, 2010
Draught at the brew pub, SF.Amber looks with a small white head. Sweet malt, citrus, and restrained piney hop in the nose and flavour. Gently bitter finish. Crisp and drinkable enough but more interesting pickings to be found at the other end of Haight methinks.

JohnnyJ (3044) - San Diego, California, USA - SEP 23, 2010
Tap at the brewpub. Amber pour, white head. Citrus, caramel, earthy hops. Kinda light, but still a decent pale.

JoeMcPhee (6967) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 9, 2010
Amber pour. The nose is lightly spicy with a touch of caramel. Light butterscotch and a touch of herbal hoppiness. It’s bready and sweetish but it works okay.

jcwattsrugger (9057) - Florida and, New Jersey, USA - MAR 8, 2010

badlizard (4410) - San Diego, California, USA - OCT 3, 2009
Clear golden orange with a fizzy white head. Bread and hops aroma. Tastes of orange malt bread and mild biterness.

bb (4887) - Alamo, California, USA - AUG 6, 2009
Draft. Rich amber beer with an off-white head. Toffee and light citrus aroma. Rich malt and toffee flavor with light toasted malts, citrus, and light pine. Medium bodied. Pine, citrus and toffee lingers with some light darker malt notes.
