355ml can. Clear amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Nuttily malty aroma, hints of hazelnut and nougat, some earthy walnut nuttiness. Taste is slightly sweet nuttily malty, minimally dry nutty hints of nutshell. Monotonous and slightly watery.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large creamy-fluffy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish, toasty and malty with sour caramel, tobacco, a slightly off presence and some fruity hops. The flavor was malty and bitter with honey, caramel, an off presence and tobacco. Fairly astringent. Medium length finish. Medium body. Not good.

Sample from a bottle. Pours a clear, light orange, with a medium, bubbly head. The aroma is bready malts, floral hops, and not a whole lot else. Sweet and fairly bitter, and surprisingly well balanced. Medium body, clean, and a little flat. This is an easy, solid hoppy amber, but nothing special.

12 ounce can into pint glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy orange/amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, caramel, biscuit, toast, light roast, floral, grass, and floral/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of citrus/floral hops and dark/bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, caramel, toast, biscuit, light roast, floral, grass, slight pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Light pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, citrus zest, caramel, toast, biscuit, and floral/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance and solid robustness of citrus/floral hops and dark/bready malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel that is ok. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a pretty solid amber ale. Good balance and solid robustness of citrus/floral hops and dark/bready malt sweetness; and very smooth to drink. A fairly enjoyable offering.

Location: Draft at Kelvin Arms, 9/17/13
Aroma: The nose is pretty light, caramel/crystal malts, some grassy and pine hops
Appearance: It pours a slightly cloudy amber color with an off-white head and medium lace
Flavor: Tastes much the same as the nose, on the thin side, it is a little sweet and a little bitter
Palate: The body is light and a little watery, feels a touch thin, drinks easily, plenty thirst quenching
Overall Impression: I have this one here due to it just being unexciting. There's nothing really wrong here, but it just didn't do too much for me. I honestly can't see how you could really hate or love this one.

12 oz. can. Paid $1.90 @ The Beer Store, Nashua, NH. Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass. Color is indeed a clear amber. Aromas are citrus hops, followed by the malt: bread, toast, and light nutty notes. The taste is straight forward and identical to the nose. Hops linger very slightly after the sip. Very light body, thin and watery. Overall it’s easy enough to drink. However, I got to say it is very boring.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear copper with a slight beige? head. Sweet roast malt aroma. Med minus body. Flavor is roast caramel (comes across almost like a brown ale) with some arguable hop bitter. Have no idea what these folks think an obscene amount is, but it doesn’t match mine. Pretty dull drink, tho arguably the flavors are not weak.
