bottle, from trade with NachlamSie. Good aroma, sweet. Wild whole blueberries, melon, little orange, brown sugar. Tad hazed orangy gold color. Small head that went to a ring that lasted most of the way down. Bittersweet flavor. Grassy with fruity, apple & berry, notes. Medium body, lite creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Nice aroma, not strong, but was different than most pale ales I’ve had. Surprised to see a 2.49 average.

12 oz. poured in Ball quart. Slightly cloudy, golden peach liquid with small, but persistent creamy head and nice lacing. Aroma is slight peach-apricot with nice hop. Flavor is slight peach, with cocoa, nutty-malt and some apricot undertones. Palate is light-bodied, but not too light. Good session beer. Dry and bitter, true to the style, and tastes way better than the standard pub bitters I had in England. May 2008 update: had my last one of these in the cellar; still a good beer with lots of yummy roasted malt flavors.

I liked it. Light Caramel Color. Spicy orange and wood taste. Good aftertaste. I got to support my hometown brewers. =)

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Suttree (thanks!). Opened to a loug pssst a preceded to pour all head (off white). Settled into a medium and clear amber color. Aromas of caramel, citrus, and lightly fruity. Tastes of caramel and citrus. Kinda boring.
