Sep 27, 2009 Pours a clear golden amber, light copper color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a one finger off white head that quickly fades into a lasting ring that leaves sporadic thin rings of lacing throughout.
Sweet malty aroma with hints of brown sugar, cinnamon and subtle hops. There is also a very faint roasted malt presence that is very promising.
Surprisingly very full bodied and chewy, especially for the style with a lot of sweet malt and fall spices. Hints of cinnamon, brown sugar, biscuit, and that slight toasted malt flavor that the aroma alluded to. There is also a very subtle hop presence which provided an excellent balance of bitterness to the sweet malts and spice notes. An excellent example of an American interpretation of the style but I can’t really see to many Germans liking it. Either way I highly recommend it.

Sep 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a creamy beige head. Aroma is caramel malt and biscuit. Fairly heavy in body and leaves you feeling a bit full. Flavor is caramel malt, a hint of fruit, and a hint of hop in the finish.

Sep 26, 2009 Medium-bodied an d very drinkable, with light notes that give way to caramel malt and baked biscuits, hints of brown sugar, smooth and lightly hopped. Not a blockbuster but easy-drinking, great for football and pulled pork in the early fall.

Sep 25, 2009 (bottle) Pours clear copper with a white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is very dry, with scents of dust, nuts, and an underlying scent of caramel which begins to smell like a turtle sundae as it warms up. Taste is light, but inoffensive, with some sweet caramel malt, that’s backed up with a dry, lightly toasted biscuit finish. This finish carries on for quite some time. A faint glimmer of cherry spikes up before the finish as well. Mouthfeel is medium, with fairly light carbonation, and it is really smooth. Not a bad beer, and it contains all the elements common to the style.

Sep 25, 2009 Deep copper body with amber hues. Soft ecru head, a tad thin. Sweet caramel malt backbone with sugar cookie notes and hints of peach and nectarine. Grassy hop component with light resin character and orange citrus. Great autumn session brew - will be picking up a case for football saturday.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle from a bottle shop in Vacaville, CA. Smelled of caramel and malt. Went down smooth and easy, but nothing really makes this beer stand out. Usually one of my favorite styles I was looking forward to a great beer and all I got was average.
