A golden ale with a thin white creamy white. A lightly spoiled aroma, caramel and herbal notes. In mouth, a grainy crisp malt, nutty and oily mouth feel. Medium bodied. On tap at MSP Rock Bottom location, Jan 24 2009.

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Aroma is light caramel malts, with a touch of hops. Flavor is caramel malt, hop, and that’s about it. Nothing bad to this beer, albeit pretty typical of a standard, solid amber ale.

Sampler at MSP airport at the Rock Bottom. Never tried this beer before, not exactly the biggest Boulder fan, plus another amber never interested me but was I surprised. From the first whiff I as surprised, what is that.. weird, is that like a leafy apricot. It is all green and tangy. Taste is again light apricot with dry twig and then again a strong apricot finsih. Weird, its a weird combination of hops and yeast maybe, like a juiced up Magic Hat #9. But its not all that special, still just a pale ale (or amber, whatever the hell that means) underneath all that. I kind of like it but then I kind of do not. I think some of the ratings are so low, probably because the beer does not travel well and sits usually too long before people try it but I got to try it on tap, I am thinking this must be pretty damn fresh. It had a clear, very, very, light copper color. I will probably try this again if I encounter on tap.

Bottle on 09/27/2008 from Once Upon A Vine - South. Very clear copper body with a large frothy white head. Sweet caramel and mild floral hop aroma. Sweet caramel and floral hop flavor, some earthy hints. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange tan color with a nice foamy head. Sweet, fruity malty aroma. Medium bodied, clean, with not much good stuff going on hop or malt wise. The sweetness of the malt completely cancels out any hop subtleties. The amber malt aroma is hardly a pleasant aromatic experience either. A rather poor example of the style. A cut above macro-swill for sure, but definitely not recommended. In fairness Ive only had this once, maybe an old bottle.

12 oz bottle from Supermarket Liquors, Cheyenne, WY; Nose of flowery and a bit of piney hops and some caramel; copper-orange with a small beige head; flavor od light bitterness, some slightly sweet caramel, and a little pineiness. Finish lightly bitter.

Pour is a copper of course with a fluffy white head. Aroma is slight malts and a few hops. Flavor is much of the same. A light malt aspect with a little citrus hop. Very watery and light all around. This brewer either puts out a pretty decent beer or a bad one. This one is the later.

Sample at the Rock Bottom MSP location. This beer is a clear orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes quickly. Patches of lacing. Aroma of light citrusy hops and sweet caramel malt. Light-bodied with a sweet caramel and malt character, and just a bit of hops flavor too. The finish is sweet and malty and the aftertaste does not linger long. No big faults, just a boring beer.

Bread and yeast aroma. A bit like banana bread? Underlying piny hop. Clear amber color with a white head that laces slightly; very slightly. Starts a bit thin but firms a bit as the carbonation leaves. Has some citrus and pine along with some malt that gets stronger. The finish is kind of leftover citrus, a bit of bitter, and a little sweetness, but not much.
