Apr 2, 2008 A good malty caramel aroma. Not too much malt. Much better than anticipated. Very well balanced with just a hint of hop bite. Nice.

Mar 27, 2008 Nicely balanced between the sweet malty backbone and some pleasant hop characteristics. A good example of an amber ale, not an exceptional beer but by no means a bad one either. Red in color, little head on our sampler glass.

Mar 21, 2008 Tap, downtown. Medium amber in color. Lightly citric with some herbal teas qualities. Quite average.

Nov 17, 2007 draught sampler at rock bottom.. dark amber color with a earthy aroma.. hickory malts and a woodish hoppyness hit my palate initially and then smoothly transition to a crisp finish.. some buttery hops mingle in but at a very delicate pace, decent bite on the backend.

Jul 26, 2007 Draft at the San Diego brewpub. The chalk board put the alcohol at 5.5. Light roasted malt aroma. Reddish amber color with an off-white head that laced. Medium bodied. Mild,creamy carbonation. Starts with sweet stone fruit, almost apricot. The roasted malt goes along for the ride. Claims a complex hop profile. Seems true. Nice bitter in the finish. Not a very amber amber.
