2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very hazy copper/brown pour with little to no head. Sweet scent, indistinguishable and watery. Medium mouth feel, a little tingly. Pretty light amber with high malt content. Finish is a little bitter and also watery. Somewhat bland but sweet/very malty amber. Definitely not on par with the other offerings I’ve had from this brewery.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a thin white ring. Aroma of bread and dark fruits. Very sweet on the nose. Sweet malts and toasted nuts dominate the flavor. A hint of spice. Not very balanced. Not any notable hops. Very malty. Hints of caramel. Strange tart but sweet finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of roasted and caramel, light herbs and dough for the yeast, with hints of date and brown sugar. Head is small, frothy off-white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy, light red/brown with some tiny particles. Flavor starts lightly sweet and lightly to moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, watery with a lively carbonation. A nice Amber Ale with a little extra oomph behind it.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Pours a very hazy amber color with a small head. Sour in the nose, which is unexpected. If it’s hoppy, it’s some of the worst hoppiness I’ve ever experienced.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured from 12oz bottle, pours a dark amber red with an off white head and some spotty lacing, aroma is sweet with caramel and malt and a hint of hops, sweeter than I was expecting, flavor is thick and sweet, was not expecting this, its more fruity in the finish than anything, hops really aren’t all that present. Meh.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Hoppy aroma and taste. Some caramel in the taste along with some zest. Bit of a mellow taste compared to what I expected and overall this is a solid beer considering the alcohol in it. 7.2% abv.
