doubleo (683), San Diego, California, USA Apr 21, 2008 On-tap at UTC location. Pours amber with a big, crisp, off-white head. It leaves good lace. Smells malty and sweet, crisp. Tastes malty up front with a good amount of dirty dish towel flavor on the finish. I had two different beers there today and both had the same, weird malt flavor. Better than the blonde. Crisp, medium body, moderate carbonation.
Angeloregon (1549), Portland, Oregon, USA May 8, 2008 On tap at Mission Grill in La Jolla, CA--Poured a clear yet dark chestnut amber body w/ a tiny wispy white head. Honey vanilla, malty crisp nose. Crackling, zesty mouthfeel. Hard water grip on tongue. Vac (2184), San Diego, California, USA Feb 28, 2008 On tap at O’brien’s. Pours with a deep red-brown body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a slightly toasty toffee note, a little graininess and a touch of underlying hops. Medium bodied, smooth yet a touch dry.
