Smells strongly of sweet sticky malts and yeast. Pours a nice light golden color with a small head. Tastes is very mild and light with the sweet malts coming through along with some nice bitter hoppiness. A well balanced ale, not bad.

Bottle with uninteresting label. The color is a nice dark gold, and there is a light aroma of yeast and hops. It is smooth with some light fizzing, and I tasted mild hops, light grain, and a bit of malty sweetness. A little watery. This is a pretty unexciting, but perfectly drinkable, amber.

Bottle (12oz). Clear copper-amber with a solid tightly foamy lasting light beige head (3+). Pretty decent roast malt aroma, fresh grain, dry and dusty floral hop bitterness - perhaps a tad light. The taste is quite juicy, cereal grain and citrus sharpness - excellent carbonation, light bodied, quick finishing, but crisp and quenching. Not too shabby.

(bottle - 12 oz) Golden color with a thin white head. Decent carbonation. Aroma is a mixture of sweet malts, biscuits, and some light hops. Some smoke as well. Flavor is very complex. Starts with a smokey malt flavor mixed with some fruit, but then goes to a very smooth and malty middle with almost no aftertaste. Not bad at all, but a little confusing.

A gold amber ale with a thin white head. A light biscuity malt with light diacetyl notes. In mouth, a dry malt with fruity esters, buttery notes. A flawed ale. Tap at 11th Annual CNY Brewfest, Feb.5 2007.

Out of the bottle, it pours mid amber with a thin head. Aroma is a bit sweet with the hops coming through, somewhat fruity. The moutfeel offers a fruit flavor somewhat like citrus as the hops shows itself agasin and tails of with light bitterness....a very well crafted beer!

tap: clear amber orange, decent at best retention. Aroma is caramel, toast, hint of grass and fruit. Light bodied with quite a bit of carbonation. A good thirst quencher, but little more.

On tap. Had this last weekend at the mountain. I’m sad that it was probably the end of the boarding season. Pours a clear redish amber with minimal white head. Aroma is lightly sweet. Taste is malty with fruit. A little bitterness in the end to round it out. Good session beer, especially after a day/night of boarding.
