12 oz bottle obtained locally. Pours a dark reddish copper with an average size and very foamy head. Floral aroma, with pine, vanilla and orange. Starts out very sweet upfront, then the citrus orange hops kick-in for the finish, and then finally some more sweet toasted malts in the aftertaste. Medium to full bodied, at least for an Amber Ale. This is a VERY interesting and unique beer. I LOVE the way the hops and malts compliment each other here. Masterful. I think I just found my new favorite session beer at $7.99 for a six...

Thin head and side bubbles, with the reddish-gold color of the sky on the label. Smells sweet, like a wet pine forest in the morning, plus Tootsie Roll overtones. Rich, hoppy, tangy, and slightly smoky first mouthful - a beer taste I associate with fancy seafood restaurants and weddings, for whatever reason. Very refreshing, with just enough complexity to keep it from being boring.

Sweet but not too sweet. Toasted toffee aroma. Smallish white head. Lots of caramel and hops in the flavor. Nice.

Had never heard of this brewery before I saw a six pack of this in Salem Comes in a 12 oz brown bottle with a olde time picture of Mr Weed, i presume ,on the label. In appearance this a quite dark "amber" ale, very deep amber almost brown, small yet appealing tan head, gorgeous lace left down the glass. Aroma is very malty, sweet toffeeish malt. Mmm very sweet malty beverage , with a small hop "kick" right at the end, which prevents the beerr becoming cloying. I like it ,though I am a fan of sweet malty beers, a hop head might take a different view. The mouthfeel is excellent, quite thick for the style, low carbonation makes this easy to go down. Nice beer , very sweet but also very drinkable for me.
