From Growler. Bought @ Victory Brewing. Pours nice golden copper color. Nice thick foamy white head, that nicely laced the glass half way down. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is malty, with some caramel hints for sweetness, with a touch of grassy hop flavor comes through in the back. Slight spice taste. Nice balance. Could easily have a couple of these. Full bodied. Thick mouthfeel. Carbonation just right.

Jul 28, 2008 On tap at Victory- Poured amber red with a small head and some lacing. Misty pour, hops and caramel up front. Refreshing, smooth and a good balance, helped calm the bitterness of the Storm King.

Jul 28, 2008 This amber pour has a sweet malt nose. It is malty and smooth with a little bit of a hop bite. There was nothing great or bad about it.

Jun 12, 2008 From the bottle, pours a clear dark red with a small but decent off white head. Deep malty aroma, taste is similar. A little watery. Meh, really not my favorite. I had higher hopes for this beer.

Jun 10, 2008 Pours a light amber with a small white film head. Aroma is lightly sweet grain, grass and a some sweet candy. Flavor is light malt although the hops come through more in the finish. Thin body, light creamy texture. Finishes somewhat short and astringent.
