goldtwins (3673), Nesconset, New York, USA May 7, 2006 Draft @ New Holland: Clear amber color with an off-white head. Malty caramel aroma with some piney hops. Some nutty notes as well. The flavor is sweet and malty with caramel and nut. Some hop flavor in the back. Medium bodied. badnewsbeers (961), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Apr 18, 2006 on tap at hew holland...reddish hue with medium white head...aroma of floral hops and some caramel malts...flavor is purely grapefruit hops and not much else...no amber elements here; very unoriginal TedShultz (3), USA does not count Apr 2, 2006 "Smells like feet" is about the best description of this beer I’ve heard. thetrifecta (29), Bell’s country, Michigan, USA Jan 6, 2005 Had a pint of this at the brewpub over Christmas holiday, and was quite impressed. I thought it was a brown ale when I had it, so I was a bit surpised to see it considered an amber. Everything about this beer is totally unoffensive, looks nice, smells nice and has a little sweetness and warmth. Thought I tasted a bit of apple in the body, nice mouthfeel, good malty presence and a mild hop finish. Quite good.
