dark amber, thin white head, light dry malt aroma, solid body, good rich malt flavor, good balancing earthy hop quality without being hoppy, low bitterness, with a touch of sweetness it would make a good scottish ale

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle courtesy of Acknud. Pours a reddish brown with a nice white head. Smells of tangy malt, roses, some earthy hints, peppery splashes and some sweet malt. Taste lives up to the expectations of the aroma with a nice tart tanginess complimented by some nice sweet malt. One of the better amber ales I’ve had.
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Tasted more like an American pale ale to me. It was watery though, which actually made it quite drinkable. The carbonation was way over the top. I could not pour this into a glass without an instant explosion of light colored bubbles. The best thing about this brew is the aroma. I think I had just as many sniffs as drinks.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle acquired as a gift from Acknud( thanks Bill ). Pours a copper, caramel color with small white head. No lacing to speak of. Thin watery mouthfeel. Average for style. Tastes a bit spicy, almost as if this were a belgian. Finished dry and no aftertaste. Refreshing brew.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours clear, brown. Aroma is rather green with hops with a mild malt backing. Thinnish mouth feel with a lot of hop flavor. Not a lot in the way of malt to round it out, but not too bad.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Full off white head the rapidly diminishes. Good clear caramel coloring. Finishes well with very slight hoppy aftertaste. Refreshing finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Copper color. Some hop flavor with almond, vanilla, and cedar hints. Watery mouthfeel that finishes somewhat sticky. Not even close to a favorite but somewhat unique for the genre.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Enjoyable thirst-quencher! A little thin on the palate, but this brew would suffer if it were thicker. Mildly hoppy, enough to produce a tang on the tongue but not enough to dry your cheeks out. Sweet but not cloying, tasty with full caramel, almond, and vanilla tones, plus a pleasant bit of clove (must not be much to be pleasant, since I don’t like cloves). Surprisingly bright but rich, with a nice *(stickyish) linger after.
