Slightly hazy amber coloured body with a light tan head and a bunch of floaters throughout the beer! Aroma of light hops, a strong malt body and a bit of caramel, tucked in with some raisins. Light-bodied; A short dose of hops, with more malt than expected and very little else. Aftertaste shows some sugars, but mostly cardboardy type tastes. Overall, a pretty poor beer, with little to offer for this style or any others. Overall, a very big disappointment, not really worth trying again. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 16-December-2007.

12 oz bottle from Halftime. Pours a slightly hazy medium amber with a lively carbonation and a foamy head- light lace. Aroma is light toffee, and sweet light caramel malts, some light nuttiness, and herbal grassy hops with some light earthiness- also has a wierd citrussy lemon hint. Toffee and lightly staled malts, crackery, and some grassy hops in the end- actually becomes tea-like and a little astringent. Overall easy drinking, but it might be a bit past its prime. A bit better than average for a Steam/Common.

On draft at the Newtown brewfest with the Mad Indian. Pours copper with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, grain, and slighty sweet. The flavor is grainy, caramel, slightly sweet, with traces of hops in the finish.

Sampled at the Newtown Brewfest 07 with Stegosaurus. Coppery pour with malty aroma. Thin and unnimaginative. It was ok.
