COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This French-style country ale is deep amber in color. With a toasty, sweet caramel start, it finishes with just enough hops to clean off the palate. Bon Appetit!

On draft, deep amber color with a small quick dissipating off-white head. Not much nose off of it, smell was overpowered by beer being boiled 15 feet away. Strong caramel and malty front, finishes with slight roast, and barest finish of hip presence. Medium bodied. Overall sweet flavor profile.

Golden with touches of amber no head. Sweet amber ale aroma. No much carbonation. Very sweet candy taste light herbal earth notes. Too sweet for my liking.

jbruner (1125) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 22, 2013
Pours a hazy golden brown from the bottle with little to no head or lacing. Aroma is malty sweetness, caramel and toffee, dust and a hint of wood. Taste follows, mostly the malts though. A little sweet, buy not bad.

rbrazell (967) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Draft at Fermentation. Clear amber pour with a foamy white head. Slight earthy aroma with orange blossom honey and sweet malts. Flavor mimics aroma with hints of spiciness and more orange blossom honey notes. Sweet ending and medium bodied. Not bad.

On tap at house of blues in Chicago. Pours a reddish brown color with little lacing. Not much to smell but had a great flavor. Sweet caramel, maybe some honey. A good beer that most could enjoy

Foxbush (991) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - APR 17, 2013
12 oz bottle This was given to me by one our suppliers. He sent two bottles from Chicago. The ale poured a cloudy amber with a nice head that dissapated to a white collar. The aroma was malty and and had a hint of caramel. The flavor was a sweetish fruity caramel. This is a very pleasant beer. It is not hoppy but balanced. The medium body ale had average carbonation. The finish was sweet on the tongue.

kerenmk (1214) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - APR 4, 2013
Bottle shared at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Pours cloudy amber with white film. Chocolate praline and jam aroma, tastes somewhat watery at first, then caramelish, a little butterscotch sweetness appears. Medium-bodied, sweetish finish, smooth texture. Not bad.

DSG (3927) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - APR 4, 2013
Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy orange-amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, some oxidation notes, a bit of fruitiness and light hoppy notes. Sweetish malty flavor, pretty stale, with some caramel, honey, a bit of fruitiness and a finish with light bitterness. Medium-bodied. Seems old.
