12oz bottle thanks to sommersb on BA. Cloudy amber in color with a one finger whitish head. This brewery is sort of failing on the whole clarity thing. The aroma is...um...interesting. Nutty with hairspray, caramel, and a hint of tartness. An amber ale huh? The flavor is like an American wild Berliner amber ale. Rather tart, but not necessarily from infection, with acrid notes, caramel, and nuts. Astringent on the palate with medium-light body and average carbonation. Man, this is not good and way off-style. WTF.

Pours an amber color with a tan head. Aroma is fruity, toast, caramel, and floral. Flavor is some caramel, toast, and a light earthy finish.

Bottle thanks to brentfeesh. Thanks Brent! Poured into an English pint glass. Appearance is a dark, somewhat hazy amber with minimal head. Aroma is sweet and malty like that of a toffee. Somewhat fruity as well. Taste is sweet, dark fruits up front giving way to some caramel notes. Low carbonation with a medium body. Overall this beer is okay. I’m glad I got to try this one.

[3216-20100731] Bottle. Light grains aroma is a little corny. Clear, amber orange body with a quick foamy white head. Grainy alcohol flavour has lingering graininess. Medium body. Not great.

12 oz, thanks to Lithy. Hazy, copper-brown with a lasting little ring of cream. Faint nose of toasted nut, chocolate and boiled root vegetables. Big malty taste of toast, cocoa and walnut shells. Near-medium body is just a tad to the sweet side, but balanced with some lightly acidic roastiness. Just a bit too fizzy (burp) with carbonation for my tastes.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small tan head. The aroma is wheat and grapefruit. The flavor is sour, like watery pineapple juice, and slightly bitter. The body is light and the palate is watery and acidic. Overall, an interesting flavor, but not very good.
