On tap at the source. Comes to the table a fairly clear amber/copper color with a foamy off white head. Aromas of caramel and toffee with hints of earthy hops. The flavor is malty sweet with lots of sweet bread, toffee, and caramel, earthy hops barely balance the maltiness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. I enjoyed this beer it had enough to keep me interested.

Draught pint at the brewpub on 4/14/06
Mildly hazy golden, dull bronze body with a fair amount of white head that his fairly to poorly retained and only creating bits of lacing.
Dry, herbal hops are bogged down in water and astringent, husky grains, as lightly metallic notes waft up, mixing with heavy yeast blandness and limpid soily notes.
Flavor is perhaps the most over-attenuated/poorly extracted of the beers I’d tried while there, with almost zero malt sweetness, certainly no comforting substance. Medium carbonation, no alcohol, heavily grainy and heavily watery with damp, mossy, soily and nearly metallic notes left over from the over-active yeast. Some light fruitiness, dry apple skins I suppose. Watery texture.

On tap at the Great Lost Bear.
Hazy orangey-brown; husky malt aroma with lemon, ginger and coriander notes. Moderately bitter body carries brown sugar, lemon/grapefruit, whole wheat toast (what dabosk would call "organic"). Finish carries through the theme of woody bitterness interlaced with toasty notes.
