Commercial Description:
Lore of the season captured in ale. A malty amber ale overtoned with slight caramel flavors and notable pleasant happiness throughout.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark copper with a medium khaki head. The aroma was sweet apple pancakes with some cinnamon sticks. There was also some apple cider. The taste was caramel with some apples. A pleasant sweetness went with the entire package.

On tap. Pours a dark copper/amber color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is caramel, citrus, buttery. Flavor is caramel, malt, citrus, floral hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished on the sweet side. Very nice.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a slightly hazy dark orange color. Head was white. Aroma was of distinct buttery caramel. There was mild hop bitterness of about 3 out of 10. Caramel, toffee, and flowery hop flavors struck a nice balance.

(Tap @ Tuba Charliels Travelers Club, Okemes, MI): Pours a cloudy brown color, light brown. White head. Fruity aroma, maybe some hops. Hoppy fruity spicy, pumpkiny taste. Very tasty. Balanced aftertaste.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Hazy orange-brown body, thin to non-existent buff head. Light aroma (served too cold) of toast and bitter, citrusy hops. Crisp, toasty body, citrusy and piny, with abundant leafy hops leaving a light astringency in the finish. Light, muddy fruitiness beneath the toast and hops. Not very impressive.
