A decent amber. Pours a beautiful red color with a white head. Slight vanilla smell. Taste is decent. Buttery, slightly fruity start. There is a hoppy aftertaste. Had on tap at the brewery. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. A red-amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is light and has notes of malt, caramel, and bread. The flavor is sweet and very malty combined with notes of bread, chewy malt, and citrusy hops, leading to a lightly bitter finish.

On tap. Clear warm amber golden with a small off-white head. Lightly sweet caramellish nose. Medium body, sweetish burned caramel and a lightly bitter finish. 090709

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Roasted malt, caramel to toffee aroma. Roasted malt flavoured, toffeeish with a subdued sweetness and nice bitterness lifting the light butterish toffee malt. Bitter and roasted mixed flavoured finish.

On tap at brewery Light copper red with a creamy tan head. Leather, malt, and floral aroma with a smooth bready taste.

Draught at the brewpub. Not a lot to say about this; it’s a respectable amber, but doesn’t really stand out.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear red-amber with a beige head. Light dishwater yeast and light toasted malt aroma. The flavor has a definite dirty wet rag quality with indistinct hops and light malt. Prickly and light body. A definite let down, as all their other beers that I have tried have been solid. None of the flavors step out and make themselves known, except the undesirable ones. Sounds like it can be better, and I have to stop back in and try a future batch.

Sampled at the brewpub. Pours a deep, dark copper color with a creamy white head that recedes with decent lacing. Aroma includes a sweet maltiness and a tangy spicy note. The flavor reflects this, with grainy and sweet malt balanced out by a spicy floral hop zest. Light body, crisp finish, pretty easy to drink.

On tap at brewery. Pours a clear copper with thin creamy head and nice lacing. It has a light aroma of roasted malts and faint burnt wheat toast. The flavor is a mixture of semi sweet roasted malts, some malt astringency and faint nuttiness.

Sampled at the brewpub. Pours very nice with a dark cloudy texture and a nice lacey head. Aroma is very malty. Flavor is very crisp with a lingering hops. Overall a nice beer.
