COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A 2001 Silver Medal Winner at the North American Brewers' Association competition. A deep-copper colored medium - bodied ale. Its fresh flavor is smooth and carefully balanced with a nice mellowness and hint of caramel malt balanced by medium hop bitterness. It is an all malt beer that is naturally carbonated. A very drinkable beer all on its own and pairs well with all kinds of foods.

Light head amber pour, there is kind of a nice heavy thing going on in the palate but, an extreme deficit of taste and aroma. That thick weird taste that is on my palete is reminiscent of...a candy bar? Shit. Who knows. Flush it.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - MAY 5, 2011
Bottle, pours a deep amber body with a white head with light retention and spotty lacing. Aromatically malty, caramel, big vegetative DMS and margarine. Buttery body hints of toasted malts and a slick body with a crisp carbonic bite. To many flaws here.

(12oz bottle). Pours crystal clear copper color with white head. Very little carbonation. Aroma has sweet honey, cardboard, and butter. Taste is sweet malt with with very mild hop bitterness. Thin bodied with a slick texture. This is an easy to drink beer, but its not my favorite style and not a great example either.

Bottle pours deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet and grainy with with light citrus and some grass. Flavor shows the same with additional notes of cardboard and honey.

Slightly hazy and orange-copper colored. Aroma is caramel malt, grain, soap. The taste isn’t bad at all, just a little weak, a little sweet and buttery from the malt, but it is mostly masked by the high level of carbonation. Body is decent, but again, carbonation is the dominant feature when drinking this. Were this less bubbly, the rating would have been significantly higher.
