Nov 26, 2008 Bottled. Man was this a nice surprise. Easily one of the better amber ales I have ever tried. Very dark brown pour with ruby highlights. Awesome blend of sweet malt and bittering hops. Complex flavour with a clean finish. Great winter warmer.

Nov 21, 2008 Pours a burgundy red with a piney hop, sweet almost pepperminty malt aroma. Nice beer that tastes like the aroma with the taste leaning towards the hops. I thought this was too hoppy for a winter beer, maybe I have burned myself out on hops. But it is very drinkable with nice carbonation and the alcohol is not noticeable.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours full amber with a small off-white head. Fair amount of lacings.
Taste is like a malted-up IPA. Very smooth and tasty. Alcohol (7.2%) is well hidden. Palate is very smooth.. Drinability is good considering the 7.2% abv.

Nov 19, 2008 pours multi colored like a black and tan with a small but holding
off-white head. Aroma of full bodied hops and bitter and sweet malt.
The flavor is like a good ipa with a nice malt backbone and a tinge of
sweetness. Really superb beer. Texture and body are full without being
too heavy. Body is mild and a tiny bit creamy. Lacing is heavy and
intricate. The beer finishes with a becon for the next sip.

Nov 19, 2008 12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a clear medium amber color with a 2 finger off white head. Nose was quite hoppy and had some sweet malt in the back drop. This is by far the best beer I’ve had from Widmer.....good stuff!

Nov 18, 2008 Bottle... Poured reddish with a white head. Aroma was spicy with herbal hops. A little bolder than most amber ales, but the taste was somewhat off. Seemed very unbalanced with an awkward sourness. Cracker malt flavors with tangy hops that seemed not fresh.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle from ilovedarkbeer. Pours with a hazy amber body and an off-white head that goes. Aroma of citrus and spruce like hops, and a decent malt presence, a bit catty. Seems like an attempt at SN Celebration. Taste is hoppy and a bit catty with some citrusy pinesol. Kind of creamy...sort of.
