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. 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.

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

Sparkling amber with lasting head. Smooth fore and mid with decent hops in the finish. Good lace

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.

Tap @ brewpub. An orange hue with an off-white head. Medium bodied with relatively light (i.e., missing) flavors. Unremarkable but not offensive for the style.
