Bottle at the Peculier Pub. A decent APA. Pours clear, light amber with a medium, white head. Aroma is light malts and grains, with some citrus hops. Fairly sweet flavor with basic caramel malt base, enlivened by pine and citrus bittterness. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Has a mild though balanced bitter/sweet finish.

Pours crystal clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma starts with malts, a dash of caramel malts and some roast and then moving into spicy hops. The taste begins with both a rush of sweet malts tempered by spicy hop bitterness. It then becomes a tad roasty as the spice hop flavor along with a touch of citrus hops and earthiness take this toward the finish. The balance seems to sway more toward the hops than the malts but not by too much.

Location: 12 oz bottle from State Line, 8/30/09
Aroma: Faint grass hops, light biscuit malts
Appearance: Mildly hazy orange-amber color
Flavor: Mild hops, mild malts, decent taste, bit of grain, bit of spice, just a little boring
Palate: A touch thin/watery, light body decent mouthfeel, borderline 2/3
Overall Impression: This beer is alright, there just ain't a whole lot going on here. It's drinkable, non-offensive, and just a little on the boring side. Where's the flavor? Eh, not rushing out for this one again.

pours orange, white head. Aroma herbal and hoppy with a nice caramel malt nose with sweet almost nutty presence. Taste hoppy, fruity and herbal with light caramel. I enjoyed the actual aroma of the beer a lot more than the palate.

bottle - Amber ale? That’s another categorization I don’t agree with here. If the brewer says it’s an APA, I think there needs to be a good reason to call it something else. IMO it easily has enough hops to fit the style. But anyway, it pours coppery and slightly hazy with a two finger, lingering head. There’s a good citrus hop aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter with a little citrus. The balance is just ok. It could use some more character. This medium bodied brew finishes dry.

On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Golden body, medium, dense off-white head. Light bready, medicinal aroma. Citrusy, lemony hops dominate the palate, backed by bready, toasty malts. Moderate hops bite. Strongly carbonated. Not bad, but not particularly drinkable, either, due to the sharp carbonation and overhopping.

Amber coloured body with a very thin white head. Aroma of alcohol, metal, blood, malt and some fresh hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Potent hoppy flavour along with blood and malt. Aftertaste shows a lot of alcohol and some malt but little else. Overall, a strong but decent beer - one to try if you can find it. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 19-May-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
