Thick and creamy, this was full of caramel toffee and paired with a prickly prickle of carbonation down the middle then ending short sweet and dry. Well done.

Excellent flavor and color. Full body and complex presentation of malts. Very good overall - another Fat Head's beer on tap!

Pleasantly surprising. Nice copper color, sweet, roasted, clean flavor, quite refreshing with wings.

A nice seasonal beer from Penn...it’s a bit on the lighter side and has a nice smooth aftertaste.

Nate (3327) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 24, 2002
UPDATED: MAR 23, 2003 Sweet, light malts. Small hit of hops, bit of caramel and molasses. Nice red/brown clear with no head. Light soft carb and medium watery body. Good sweetness, better than the Penn Dark. Not as dry and less hops. Nutty finish and sweet nutty after. Refreshing.

ravidesai (938) - Bombay, INDIA - FEB 28, 2002
A great fest lager. copper colour , thin heasd with a minimum of lacing. malty sweet aroma with a hint of cotton candy. nice smooth mouthfeel much more substantial than most lagers, almost stout-like. taste of sweet caramelized malt with toffee notes. a very good seasonal beverage.

Basically a nice a bit above average beer. I had a second so I enjoyed the first one. I didn’t think it was anything memorable, it just tasted like a decent nice beer.
