This unique copper-colored ale derives its fruity, slightly spicy aroma from authentic Belgian Abbey yeast. The subtle nutty and malty sweet flavors sing in harmony with the freshest organic hops available.

12 oz. bottle. Pours copper with a small, tan head. The aroma is apple juice, cherries, caramel, and cinnamon. The flavor is very sweet and malty, with a little spiciness. The palate is medium, chewy, and a little astringent. Overall, this is a nice amber ale, but nothing special.

Pours brilliantly clear orange/gold with a small white head that falls quickly. Light malt aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet with just enough hop bitterness to balance. Pretty simple, uncomplicated beer. Good lawnmower beer.

Bottle from Liz. Pours amber with a creamy white head. LIght spicy aroma, hint of nut. Med body; foamy carb. It first suggests a pils, then nut and spice pop in. Pretty drinkable beer. Balanced.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 01/06/2012. Clear amber pour with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grainy malt, caramel and mild hops. Light body with flavors of bready malt, caramel and lightly bitter hops. The finish is short and malty. Pretty average overall.

Crisp amber coloured body with a copper glow and a thin, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of light malt, a touch of fruit and a little bit of nuts. Light-bodied; A malty flavour at first with some sweetness from raisins and fruits soon afterwards with a very crisp and nutty finish. Aftertaste shows some sweetness, caramel, fruits and a little malty alcohol finish. Overall, a pretty simple and mild beer - no strong flavours one way or another. Drinkable for sure, but not very enjoyable. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in St. Petersburg, Florida on 13-November-2010 sampled in New Paltz, New York on 19-February-2011.

Couleur qui approche le cuivre/ambre, col est blanc. Je note des esters, sucre brun léger, malt de caramel, qcq notes de levure belge avec un goût de pomme, banane. Fin au palais sans vraiment être une bière qui innove de trop.

Draught: Poured a reddish brown amber with a off white colored head. Aroma was sweet fruit and spice. Taste seemed really grainy and very little of the fruit and spice carried over.

A copper amber ale with a thick receeding white head. A nutty spiced malt aroma, with light milk chocolate notes. In mouth, a sweetish malt with light coriander, some powdery dryish character, light lactic points, and roasted malts. Not bad.

12 oz bottle from Pantani. Nose of sweet caramel with a hint of bubblegum. Clear light amber with a medium, lightly lacing, beige head. Flavor is peppery with caramel and a touch of spiciness. This would be a decent session ale.
