4th June 2008. Light hop and malt - not bad but let down by a watery palate.

bhensonb (8981) - Woodland, California, USA - AUG 26, 2006
UPDATED: FEB 17, 2007 Aroma of malt with citrus hint. Coppery amber color with frothy tan head. Some lacing. Starts with caramel malt flavor, grapefruit aromas in the middle, and a nice lasting, but mild, bitter hoppy finish. Not your typical relatively tasteless amber. Sort of like a good pale ale with some extra malt.

Tmoney99 (8773) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 23, 2009
Draft at Dilly Deli. Poured a clear copper color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasted and had good lacing. Good malty and citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick dry texture and flat carbonation. Moderate well balanced smooth flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good session brew.

Bottle at Patricks. Dark amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is fruit, malt, caramel, hop. Flavour is fruit, malt, caramel, hop, berries. Medium to full body. OK beer.

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 15, 2009
Keg at Pivo Bar, York. Clouded amber with slight head. Just had to go for it, but it turned out to be quite tart and acidic over a fruity, caramel body, not what I really expected. Smooth and a little thick on the palate, a bit of a struggle.

hopscotch (8212) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - JUN 14, 2004
Clear, deep, burnt orange ale with a small, frothy, beige head. Good retention. Thick, creamy lacing. Fruity, chocolatey aroma. The flavor is good ’n’ chocolatey and nicely hopped for perfect balance. Some dark fruit and malty, caramel notes as well. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Lengthy, dry finish.
