Bottle and label says bottone on Nov. 05 2007. Small off-white head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, mostly transparent with a slight haziness, carbonation noted, and a golden hue. The nose was malt, caramel and floral hops. Ditto for the flavor along with some bitterness. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. A very easy to drink brew, nice balance, nicely done, and worthy of a try.

Thanks to STLWill. Copper pour with a dirty white head. Floral hop aroma with a malty undertone. Flavor is much the same with the floral hops and a sweet malt.

Sampled from 12-oz bottle, shared by STLWill at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear golden amber brew with an average off-white head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white head. Some spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some floral hops, a touch of white pepper and a touch of dry spice. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet caramel malt and flowery hops. Finish has a nice aftertaste with a good balance of caramel malt and some mild bitterness.

[bottle] shared by STLWill. Poured a cloudy straw gold with a small head. Little aroma of some hops. Flavor was mild and malty. Very drinkable.
