12 oz bottle purchased as part of beers of summer 10 pack at World Market. Pours with some seetling as hazed copper brownish. One inch off white head falls quick with sticky lacing. Aroma of grainy caramel sweet malt with a toasty breadiness. Small amount of floral. Taste is the toasty bready malt with the semi-sweet caramel. A bit of grass in the finish. As it warms, some iced tea crystal malt and light diacetyl comes out, detracting a bit. Palate is medium bodied, clean, quick finish. ( 6,4,5,3,12 - 3.0)
++++ Original Rating 16 Dec 2006 ++++
Bottle. Pours is fairly deep brown, with some nice layering. Hop aroma and taste, but nothing too overpowering. Get some malt in the finish. Well made beer, but nothing out of the ordinary. ( 5,3,6,3,13 - 3.0)

Bottle. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. Sweet caramel and slight cocoa aroma. Caramel, toffee, cocoa flavor with some backing hops. Well balanced. Slight lingering bitterness. Easy to drink.

Ahhhhh! It makes me angry to even review the beer, much less drink it (which I didnt, I poured this DMS cocktail out).
Classic Saratoga appearance - initially full, fizzy head bolstered by copious amounts of hard, large bubbled carbonation. Head fizzles out, no lacing, no retention, no ring. Body is clear, filtered. Smells pasteurized, dead, full of DMS and stale malts. Soily, rotten, bland, metallic hops. Crude. Not complex in flavor, with sharp, aggressive, overcarbonation. Simply an abomination of the brewer’s art. How/Why this brewerey is able to put out stuff like this, side-by-side the Mendocino Winter Ales, is beyond me.

Considerable malts for an APA. The malts are mostly dry but there is a touch of sweetness. Fairly roasty in the flavor, suggesting a dryer stout rather than a pale ale. The hops are on the light side. It has a little more bite than an amber ale but still fairly easy going, and the hops that are there build on the dry malt base of the beer. It looks good enough; light red and a thin layer of foam.

bottle - Pours with a thin head, fades kind of quickly. Mild, malty aroma. Flavor has some hoppy bitterness, but not as much as most pale ales I’ve had. Fairly clean finish, just leaves a mild aftertaste, but not unpleasant. This brew is okay. I liked their Messiah Bold better though.
