Appearance: Clear, reddish-amber body with a thin, white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling, bready aroma with some mild, fleeting hints of caramel and fruit. Taste: Sweetish, bready malt profile with a hint of caramel cubes. Minor fruitiness. Incredibly faint hop character with almost no imparted bitterness. Drying finish with a final impression of sweet breadiness. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Lightly carbonated. Drinkability: First, the Gold was woefully undercarbonated, and now this. Again, a bump in effervescence would help this beer a great deal.

Amber pour with frothy head and lace. Caramel malt on the nose. Light sweet caramel malt , light bitter finish, with a mustiness. Medium bodied with a light watery pallet.

On tap at the brewpub. This was well loved by the only Englishman among us, for what it’s worth. Crystal amber pour, with decent carbonation but quite settled and sedentary looking. Decently aromatic malts with just a touch of spice to the nose. Body was medium, thinned out fairly quickly. Just flavorful enough to be inoffensive. Not flavorful enough to remember.

Tap. Light amber color. Nice malt, sweet aroma. Flavor of sweet malt. Very well balanced. Perfect flavors, perfect session. I LOVED IT.

On tap at the brewpub. This one has 6% abv according to the bartender. good lacing, smooth and somewhat sweet, slightly toasty. a solid beer and good representation ofthe style.

A fruit-juicy, sweet aroma. Sweet, tart and clean without a whole lot of hopping. Reminded me of sloe plums that I used to eat as a kid. A bright orange-red.

Not so much red as much as dark yellow. Nutty, light aroma, a little buttery. Fizzy, cold (too cold). Metallic edge hits both the flavor and nose. Bitter finish. (on tap, downtown Atlanta location)

Draft at Max Lager's in downtown Atlanta. This beer had a small sized tan head with fine-large bubbles that was mostly lasting. There was no carbonation observed and the body was transparent with a red hue. The nose was malty, sweet and spicy with a light hoppy and mild spice taste to it. The mouthfeel was smooth, thin and watery. This was a light bodied beer with good lacing. This beer lacks character, flavor and it was a rather boring beer to drink and rate.

UPDATED: SEP 21, 2004 Copper in appearance with a small (if any) head. Light caramel aroma with a sour, tangy, lemon-like taste. Tasted a bit like dirty dishwater, yummy.

Amber orange, sticky beige head. Aroma is metallic, sweet, caramel. Taste is sweet, caramel, thin, metal, apples.
