JMFG (1086), Florida, USA Aug 16, 2008 On tap @ Schooners. Amber with a thin, broken off-white head. Lightly grainy nose backed some grassy earthy hops. Mild sweet malts on the taste, accented nicely by a lightly floral hop component. A nice take on the style. AgentSteve (736), Livermore, California, USA Jun 13, 2008 Pours a decent caramel golden color with a nose of malt and doughy biscuits. The flavor is the same, with a caramel influence as well sweetening it a bit more. Nice beer. beerguy101 (3468), Newark, California, USA Aug 30, 2007 Tasted from fresh growler. This California Common pours a dark copper gold color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, toffee and bready. Medium bodied common. Malts are fruity and sweet. It has that fruity estery flavor of a steam beer. Hops are floral and earthy. Soft malt flavors that kind of just fade away. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. ratman197 (2241), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jun 13, 2007 On tap @ Hopyard Pleasanton poured a clear copper with a small lingering off white head. Aromas of carmel, bread and light fruitiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of bread, light carmel and a hint of fruitiness with a crisp lightly bitter finish. aspidites (1268), manteca, California, USA Oct 9, 2006 Can you say very good Steam Beer. Too bad Fritz copyrighted the name. Malt forward with caramel and biscuit notes. Perfect balanced hopping that compliments the wonderful mouthfell. Well done Craig.
