PhysZac (69), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA Mar 12, 2006 Bomber. Golden orange pour with thick creamy head that clings to glass. First smell is orange. Smells doughy, dusty, and dry with good amounts of yeast. Roasty taste of biscuits with a crispy bacon flavor. Subtle pine hops finishes the well balanced profile. As it warms, more meaty and apple flavors dominate and bring along a yeasty quality. Palate is slightly dry with a medium body. No alcohol presence in any part of the beer. Nice drinker.
ChristianScheffel (2216), Odense, Denmark Oct 10, 2008 Slightly hazy amber with a lasting white head. Aroma has tangerine and peach and a hint of malt. Dry, fruity and caramel flavour, with a little husk-like astringency. Too carbonated to be pleasant. nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a small tan head. Aroma of spices and caramel. Flavor was nutty with caramel and a slight hop note. Medium body with good carbonation. Cory (10), , California, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle. A nutty, alcohol aroma, a nice burnt orange color, a little acidic at first with a lingering toasted finish. Smooth and fizzy across the palate. Great light beer! darn1207 (330), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 30, 2008 on tap at the mariners game. light amber pour. sweet floral spice and caramel aroma. bready caramel malt taste backed with light hops. not bad, but a little too sweet for me. K6.5 DrHomolka (601), Columbus, Ohio, USA Sep 28, 2008 12oz bottle best by Dec 12. Pours a clear, dark golden color with a small but well retained white head. Aroma is plesant toastiness. Just a touch of roast, biscuits, malty. Kind of reminds me of Great Lakes signature flavor, that toasty biscuit like aroma that is in most of their beers. This smells better than I thought it would (I did not have high hopes for this beer). Flavor is not as good as aroma. Same qualities though more watery and bland. Some toastiness and caramel like flavors but they are quite watery. Short finish. Low bitteress, nil hop flavor. Light/medium bodied. This is what I expected overall.
