tbookman (618), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 23, 2006 Beautiful deep brown color - very slight haze and a bubbly head. Aroma of citrus fruit, caramel, and a hint of mint. well balanced and flavorful with stong malts, citrus, prunes, and some spice. Finishes strong and dry. Very nice offering.
slimchill (616), Austin, Texas, USA Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Caramel-sweet nose with some strawberry and raspberry fruit character. Clear pale red, thin head. Flavor opens sweet and estery, finished a bit harsh but with nice fruit esters. Gets more harsh as it warms. Beerman6686 (654), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 19, 2008 Pours a dark amber color with an off white head. Aroma is very malty but with some hop undertones mixed in. Flavor is also very malty, but well balanced by the hops, nice dry crisp finish. The only complaint is a slight coppery taste. Nothing the stands out here but very drinkable, hides the alcohol well, and has a nice price. keepersj12 (394), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Aug 16, 2008 Top notch stuff. Nice sweet malty aroma with a sweet malty taste but followed by a nice hop kick. Finish is crisp and dry. I would never have guessed the ABV as it is very well hidden however there is a nice glow after a couple NomDeBeer (129), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 14, 2008 This is a very crisp,clean, drinkable beer. Not assertively flavorful, but not boring either. The alcohol is well hidden making this one very enjoyable. Got more than I expected out of this one. DrDavid (117), , Vermont, USA Aug 13, 2008 (Bottle). Excellent offering. Deep brownish red in color. Thin beige head. Well balanced flavor, accentuated by lively hops. For the rest, the commercial description is right on target.
