Clear, amber color. SOmewhat floral aroma but nothing special to it. A litle bit fizzy in the mouth. This is an ale that taste like a lager or a lager reminiscent of an Ale. Not a stand out but drinkeable.

From bottle. Part of April Dayton Beertasting event. Pours amber with very little head. Aromas of malt and spice. Tastes similar to the nose with sweet malt. Very smooth and easy drinking.

This is dated on the label from 2005/2006, bought in 09/08, didn’t realize it was this old. Trying out a new liquor store, bottles were dusty if you get my meaning...I think this guy may have turned. No head, but a pretty amber pour. Kind of flat, somewhat sour and skunky, but with notes of raisins and nuts, with a sickly sweet phlegmy aftertaste. I think this may have turned, barely drinkable.

Bottle, pours amber with a tan head. Aroma of caramel, roasted nuts, spices. The mouthfeel is medium. I taste orange, caramel, spices, with a slightly bitter finish.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a two finger white head. Aroma of nuts and caramel malt. Flavor of caramel and maybe some slight toffee. Medium body with average carbonation.
