rmussman (687), California, USA May 21, 2008 Sampled at the brew house. Flavor was pretty good with some solid malts. Color was nice and mouthfeel was smooth. Definitely worth a try. GJF (214), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA Apr 26, 2008 Pours a nice ruby color with white head. Malt flavor up front, but not much depth. Thin finish. BillKismet (1388), Seattle, Washington, USA Mar 26, 2008 Deep amber, almost maroon color. Dry dusted malt aroma with some dusty malt flavor as well that is rounded well enough to render this a solid brown ale offering. Ethereal (869), London, Greater London, England Mar 8, 2008 Pint at the Thirsty Bear in San Francisco, 19th Feb 2008. Ruby brown in colour with a simple aroma of caramel malt. Solid palate, tastes like a fruity, malty brown ale. OK I guess, but served too cold in my (British) opinion. jasonp (1440), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA Jan 18, 2008 From June 2007 tasting notes, sampled at Thirsty Bear. Dark clear bronze with a quickly fading head. Pleasant sweet caramel toastiness and a hint of roast. Nice toffee, caramel, brown sugar and a hint of coffee. There’s a slight touch of maple syrup in there too. Thin and watery with soft carbonation. Needs a little tweaking.
