2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a clear dark orange with barely a half finger head that quickly fades to a thin ring around the glass.
Aroma is mostly malt with some toasted grain and caramel. Just a slight hint of earthy hops.
The flavor is all malt up front with plenty of caramel and a decent amount of sweetness. Some bready grain follows along with some toasted malt but it all disappears about halfway through. There is a light bitterness but little detectable in the way of hop flavor.
Overall, this beer has is going right at the beginning but all the flavor just fades away too quickly. Otherwise it’s a pretty decent brew.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
This one is fine, but not terribly remarkable. It poured a light amber color with no head. I get little aroma off it. There is a strong malt flavor up front, but it fades quickly.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear light amber color with hardly any head and or lacing. Smells grainy. Aroma has apricot, plums, and a bit of bread. Taste is not as bitter as I expected. Body is almost medium with lively carbonation. Not bad at all but nothing exceptional.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured into a pint glass. Clear amber color with barely a covering of head.
Smells grainy, with apricot.
Malty and dry grain taste. Malt sweetness is balanced by the assertive hop bitterness. Some dark fruit flavor, like plum comes through.
Feels bubbly, medium body and a bit syrupy.
Descent and enjoyable overall.

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at does steakhouse 1may2012, best of all the choices, it looks like beer tastes like beer and is beer. Too carbonated for me
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. The pour was a medium amber with a yellow hue and an average sized (1-2 finger) white rocky head that receded down to a thin layer and small collar of residue with poor lacing.
The aroma was rather strong of toasted caramel malts and a mildly sweet yeast with notes of toffee, butterscotch and citrus (orange peel).
The taste was very malty and a tad sweet with a hint of toffee early on and then had a mild citrus bitterness (probably from the orange peel) and a light alcohol ending. The flavor lasted an average duration after the swallow and was basically malty sweet and very mildly bitter.
Mouthfeel was a step or two beyond light in body with a mildly syrupy texture and a lively carbonation.
Overall a rather tasty brew with a bit more of and an alcohol ending than the ABV suggests...
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bready caramel aroma. Copper colored with soapy head. Smooth, slick texture with nice carbonation. Sweet, malty caramel flavor no real bitterness or hop character. Average beer at best, much better offerings available from Red Hook in my opinion.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma of malted grain, faint caramel, gentle hops, and bread. Bitter, if weak, taste of floral hops and bready malts.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Clear dark orange. Smells and tastes like Fresh Baked Bread, Yeasts, Floral Hops, Malts and a slight fig-like flavor. The flavor itself is very rich despite it’s simplicity. It’s light bodied with some carbonation that gives it a crisp feel. Overall, it’s a beer thats perfect for any situation or setting, whether it’s sitting outdoors on a summer day or watching a football game on a Sunday afternoon
