Jul 31, 2008 4 oz. sample @ brewpub - clear, dark amber; drinks on the sweet side with nice touches of caramel and sweet malts; creamy finish, but a little bland; aromas mostly of stale malts and a little cotton candy

Jun 29, 2008 On tap. Pours a dark amber with offwhite head. Caramel, grassy hops, citrus, sweet malt, bread, and floral notes. More bitterness then usual for an amber, which is good.

Mar 27, 2008 On tap at the brewpub in Sacramento. Very dark amber color with an off-white head that left moderate lacing. Nose of caramel malts and grassy hops. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor is the same as the aroma, with caramel malts and hops. Good overall balance. A quite decent amber.

Feb 17, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Dark amber color with a beige/tan head that was pretty flat. Nice roasted caramel aroma with a touch of grassy hop? Near medium body with mild, but sharpish carbonation. Sweetish malt flavor backed by what seems to be grass/floral hop. Billed as well balanced. Seems to be. Finish builds a bit of bitter, but the balance is maintained. Not an APA, IPA or ESB(that’s closest), it must really be an amber.

Dec 4, 2007 Tap: Cloudy amber with a small light brown head. Nice aroma with a little sweetness. Well balanced. The aftertaste is semi-bitter. All around - standard representation for an amber ale.
