Bottle. Pour is an orangish amber with a medium sudsy head. Aromas of spice (cinnamon ?), honey, light fruit (apples ?) and just a hint of caramel from the malt. Flavor is decidedly sweet… caramel/apple malt sweetness and fruitiness is nice, and there is a touch of spice to keep it interesting, but finish is kind of flat as it fades into an apple juice concentrate finale.

2008 Bottle. Pours with a lightly off-white creamy but small heead. Clear penny colored body. Good lacing. Hardly any aroma. A bit of alcohol, cinnamon and malt. All very faint. Taste is astringently malty and biscuty. Overall bland and not appealing. Lightly fizzy.

clear gold, moderate white head, touch of lacing. nose is airy, musty malt. flavor is malty sweetness, with an off-putting hoppy bitterness (strange, since i love hops). medium bodied, sweet finish. a mild beer that is mildly off-putting.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Atlanta. Pours amber with a smallish white head. Aroma is malty, graham crackers, honey wheat bread and some fruitiness. Flavor is fruity and has that distinctive Sam Smiths malt profile. Good hops too. NIce beer.

Bottle. Aroma of doughy/cookie malt, light fruits. Flavor has some tartness to go along with malty sweetness, the light fruits (apple, pear, slight citrus), and finishes on its strongest bitter note. Pretty basic, but filtered, pasteurised, seaweed and all, I found it quite tasty.

Bottle, 2008. Pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, sweat, slight sourness. Flavor of apple juice with a slight sour/funky twang and some breadiness/wheat malt. Palate is a little watery. Nice, sweet, and drinkable.

Bottle from MidWay Mart in Denton, TX. Pours a great looking clear amber with thick rocky white head. Aroma is fruity and malty. Taste is semi sweet, fruity, malty, faint tart, some spice, nice bitter, alcohol is hidden well. Mouthfeel is medium body with med.-high carbonation. Over all, very enjoyable tasty beer.....Has a little warmth to it as well.

Fruity. Apples, grapes and cider aromas. Apple flavors, sweet and mild with a mild dried fruit accent. Mild palate. Not bad.
