Pours to a bronze, straw colored body with a creamy white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is lightly hopped. Sweet malts. The flavor is hoopy, grass and strawberries, citrus, and flowers. This is the best tasting of the beers sampled thus far. The palate is mediocre.

On tap at the Water Street in Delafield location. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of caramel and citrus.

PorterPounder (4613) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JUN 18, 2005
UPDATED: JUN 19, 2005 On tap at their downtown Milwaukee location. Light copper appearance, white head, decent lacing. Aroma has some decent floral notes with a touch of citrus. Flavor has a delectable citrus bent to it with some underlying nuttiness and spruciness. Decently thick mouthfeel. One of the better ones from my sample at Water Street.

Very nice pale ale, somewhat of a surpirise for this brewpub. But nothing remarkable.

JCapriotti (1379) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 4, 2005
Lasting white head, slightly cloudy bright reddish amber. Nice fresh grapefruit in nose, and taste. Weird pineapple lifesavor taste in there. Good PA, but not fond of the seemingly sweet adjunct.

StewardofGondor (1934) - Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 21, 2004
A very welcomed change for my taste buds after trying their Black Lager. This one is very cloudy - a deep orangish-brownish haze. Smelled of oranges and spice, with a slight wiff of banannas. Beer had a great spicy bite with some strong hops to give it a great finish. As far as ales go, I liked this one a lot.

Gold color with a thin head. Vaguely hoppy aroma. Decent balance of malt and hops. Not much to set it apart from any others.

Gold Coloring With White Ring. Sweet Malt and Some Hops. Not a Bad Balance. Thought it a Bit Watery in The End. But a Decent Pale.

drywallman (310) - Lake in the Hills, Illinois, USA - SEP 21, 2004
This one had a clear amber color with a semi-long lasting head. The first part of the taste was a kind of caramel malt with hints of toffee as others have mentioned. The hops were high alpha in taste as I would expect and came on strong, but not too strong at the finish, with maybe a hint more malt. It’s a winner.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 26, 2004
Hazy brown-amber color. Lemon zest and orange peel in the aroma along with some light caramel-toffee malt. Fresh, hoppy taste fronted by the same hops, followed by bready, lively caramel malt. Compared the other crap I had there, this stuff is great!
