Jan 1, 2008
Bottle: Deep amber, moderate to large fluffy off-white head, decent lacing. Malty nose, very minor sweet cereal. Quite
malty on the tongue, little to no hop bite. Smooth, perhaps a touch of cereal in there but otherwise clean. Body and mouthfeel
are moderate. I must say this one is better than I expected. Perhaps it is because the last few beers I had weren’t all that
good. Minor sweetness on the finish. Pretty plain, average, but clean and easy drinking with a good malt base. Not half
bad! Thanks Craig for the freebie!

Oct 5, 2008 Pours amber in color with not much head at all. Smell is malty and a bit spicy. Taste is very malty, much more than in the nose. A good amount of hops in the taste as well. Medium mouthfeel with a good amount of bitterness. Very good and easy drinking. Not bad.

Sep 5, 2008 Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 12 oz bottle. Dark orange pour, sparkling, soft white head. Sweet aroma, hints of candied yams. Earthy flavor, some toffee accents, caramel, some hints of pumpkin and a bit of ripening vegetables. Mouthfeel is thick enough. Not overdone with sweetness, overall, decent.

Aug 30, 2008 Malty, slightly candied, aley aroma -- a little buttery. Great cap, fun label, light orange brew, thin, almost white head. Hoppy, diacetyl, not sweet, lightly astringent. Medium body, silky feel, semi-crisp finish. A decent pricepoint brew.

Feb 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small diminishing beige head. The aroma is carmel malty goodness mixed with a bit of buttered toast. The flavor begins with a nice mildly sweet caramel maltiness that transitions to taosted bread with some hoppy bitterness. The funk that appears for a brief time is only a minor distraction. Easy drinking solid, yet unspectacular beer.
