Pour is a dark red with a large tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts and nicely hopped. Flavor is a decent earthy malt up front and some hops make an appeariance. Decent amber ale and probably even better fresh.

Pours deep clear amber into a Sam glass. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Dark caramel and resin aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and grass upfront turning to resin and grapefruit in the lasting finish.

Plenty of caramel malts in this one. Light toasted malt, some sugary sweetness, and light hops in the aroma. Flavor follows along the same lines. Medium, smooth mouth. Deep caramel/amber color. Solid.

Bottle. Poured deep clear red with thick white lasting head. Moderate lacing. Very full aroma, more like an IPA than a pale, much orange fruit. Flavour is more restrained, like a pale. Lingering hop finish.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear, light honey-orange with a modest, slightly off-white head. Pretty hoppy aroma, quite piney, mild florals, only small hints of caramel. Not very sweet, there’s an emphasis on earthy bitterness. Light to medium in body with rather flat carbonation. Finishes dry with some stickiness. Fine, clean and lingering hops. Good.

Bottle. Pours with a sort of brownish-amber (light mahogany?) clear body and a off-white head. Aroma of caramel, toast, light berry, some hop, nutshells, chocolate and rose petals. Flavor is malty and floral through out. Bitter finish, sort of soapy too. Medium bodied. Not as amazing as some of FW regular beers.
