12 oz bottle at the CDA Casino. Pours hazy orange with a large cream-colored lacy head. Aroma is grainy, macro-ish. It starts to get a little more interesting as it sits--herbal tea and clove characters come out. Taste is lightly sweet and grainy with a slightly dry bitter finish. Carbonation is average, body is medium to light. Pretty boring.

Pours dark amber/ruby with a large head.Nose shows lovely caramel and toffee notes with some soft spicy hops underneath.Very similar flavours, quite a lot of caramel, but there’s also some nutty malt in there too. Finishes with an assertive bitterness.Body feels a bit watery.

12 oz bottle. Used a pint glass. Amber / brown almost clear color. No head, nearly no aroma even after warming a bit. Low carbonation. Medium body and smooth mouthfeel. The flavor runs to caramel malts with a hop bitterness that carries over into the finish. It’s listed as an Amber Ale, yet I get an IPA taste and feel to it. Or an APA, rather then Amber. Not really my kind of brew, I would drink the Messiah Bold before this one.

Ambre avec un fin col de couleur blanc-cassé. Arôme de malt Munich, caramel et de houblon/citron Palais malt fine note de caramel avec une présence de fruits et de houblon laissant une légère couche d’amertume et de citron qui reste sur le fini. Le fini reste effervescent et sec avec le caramel / houblon Willamette donnant un aspect terreux au palais et un léger arrière-goût de citron du houblon Northern Brewer.
