Above average amber ale, with some zing, an lacing in the glass. Sampled @ World Cafe Live Beats, Brews and BBQ.

Goldy colour meduim head,clear. Sweet horsey sour aroma with malt background,malty with little hop. Sl toasty,nutty, munich ? malt finishes dry, very slight diacetyl. I found the aroma unpleasant, maybe a house yeast character.overall a bit bland.

Clear dark amber pour from the tap at Blue Dog in Chalfont. Toasted malt, caramel sweetness, bread dough, and a smooth finish. Not bad, but it did go well with my jalapeno cheeseburger.

From the tap poured light amber with a good amount of head. Nice light sweet malt light hop flavor with a quick finish.

Bottle from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. Aroma is plain and simple serving of yeast with spice that is toned down compared to the other belgian ales that make it here across the pond. Beer is a light tint of orange with no formation of head to discuss. The flavor is bland and i know it isnt a proper way to describe a beer but im going to go ahead and say that it really does taste watered down.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pretty much your standard amber Ale. Toasted malts with a light hop presence, not much else.

11.2 ounce bottle in pint glass. Copper reddish with nice head and a little lace. Toffee yeasty aroma. Toffee flavor with very mild melon fruitiness and a brainy bready finish. Medium-light body and medium carbo. Pretty good for a session amber. This is what Fat Tire copies.

On tap. Clear light amber color with a super short white head. The aroma had a touch of yeast, sweet caramel malts and some light citrus. The flavor was sweet caramel malt a light touch of yeast and some citrus. Light bodied, went down easy and was actually a decent pairing with my ribs.
