Feb 11, 2007 Nitro at Waterfront Ale House. Copper color with a creamy off-white head, leaving speckled lacing. Grainy malt aroma with some red apple peel and floral scents. Caramel malt flavor with a slight hop backing; some fruity notes in the body. Creamy nitro palate. Nicely balanced session ale, but at the same time very standard and unexciting. The nitro might be ruining any of the subtler flavors.

Feb 4, 2007 On tap at the SPH. Pours a clear golden amber with a thin, very creamy white head. Superb lacing down the entire glass. Very light aroma of fresh bread. The flavor is thankfully more pronounced than the aroma with fresh bread, malt and hops all in proper proportion. Super smooth mouthfeel with just enough bitterness and a nice crisp finish. Really good stuff.

Mar 8, 2006 Body is a deep ruby amber with a tightly-packed, thick creamy head. Not much aroma. Flavor is smooth and crisp, with just enough hops to keep it interesting and a perfect complement of bready malts to balance it out. Palate is a bit thin and creamy. Finish is dry, bitter and sweet. This stuff just begs to be quaffed.

Feb 25, 2006 Cask @ Brazen Head. Light golden in color with a little white head. Grainy, bready aroma. Hoppy malty flavor. Taste is well balanced. Finish is nutty and dry. Smooth tasting. Full bodied. Very drinkable. Nice.

Feb 25, 2006 Cask @ Brazen Head. Light gold in color with a small head (understandable for gravity feed) but still a 1/2" of white foam. Aroma is a heady bread dough. Taste is perfectly balanced between the light bitterness and the sweet grains used. The thing I find most amazing about this real ale, is the ability to maintain consistant throughout the pint. Some nuttiness and a bit of dryness as well. Really smooth and my favorite at the fest.
