UPDATED: MAR 18, 2006 12 oz bottle from Sept ’05. Poured with medium off white head leaving some lacing. Subtle berry and mild hop aroma with reddish amber color. Malty slightly biscuity flavor with some hop bitterness. Finishes clean with a touch of hop flavor behind. The body is a touch thin but quite acceptable.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aug ’05 Bottle thanks to MIke. Cloudy dark red-brown body under a foamy white head. Raspberry syrup and cookie malt in the aroma. Medium-strength flavor of red fruit and biscuit malt with a light lemon hop uplift in the finish. A very nice amber that I’d like to try fresh!

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
From a gift sixer from BBB63. Bottled in Aug 05. Poured with a big fizzy white head, and some vissable carbonation rushing to the top. Copper and red hues. Some lace. Sugary sweet, bready robust aroma. Very good malty aroma. Very drinkable. Cara-toff-olate with a spicy hop bitterness. Nice fuller body. Thanks Mike.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a nice amber, with an inch thick white head (due more to my sloppy pour) Aroma is very sweet with a bit of chocolate. Excellent taste, especially for an amber. Very good mouthfeel. This is one of the better beers to come out of Upland.
