| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2006 Beer pours up an attractive copper color with a nicely retained beige colored head. Aroma is sweet malt like sweet bread with a light dry spice hop note as well. Flavor is sweet, with just a bit of hop bitterness, but not enough for my taste. Not an awful amber, but not terrific either. Obviously not an east coast only beer anymore, as I bought it here in Texas. mike mcneil (660), St Augustine, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2007 Pours an autumn colored bright, clear copper-orange hue. Creates a dense 1/2" beige head which unfortunately dies out much too quickly. No lacing noted. Malt dominated aromas are expereinced with tame, but pleasant notes of caramel, toasted bread, raw grain along with some fruity apricot-like aromas and spice lingering faintly in the background. Mouthfeel is a bit watery and thin, but refreshingly light. Flavors were a tad more assertive as compared to the wimpy nose. Toasted malt, light caramel candy are the mainstay with some faint spice, smoke and fruitiness detected. Unfortunately a distracting slight metallic flavor intrudes throughout. Overall a decent session Amber-style ale, but a bit of a lightweight for a cool, crisp autumn day. mjg74 (2001), La Mesa, California, USA
