Jul 4, 2003 Light brown copper color with a thin layer of head. Aroma of noble hops, some cascades, and crystal malt. Smooth flavorful body is a combination of caramel malt and bittering hops. Reminds me a lot of a barleywine, only a little less complex and without as much alcohol. By far the best amber I've ever had. Very drinkable.

Nov 29, 2004 Brad’s Mystery X beer and a fine choice, thanks, growler: Reddish coppery hue with a small off-white head and okay lacing. The aroma was piney and aromatic, fruity and yeasty and had a touch of caramel malts. The taste starts with a lots of dry fruits (apple and pear mostly) with a hint of lemongrass. Gets a piney snap towards the finish. The feel is full, twangy and dry, nicely done. Like an APA but with the palate of a richer beer, I like this surprise a lot. A amber huh?

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.
