16 oz can bought at Bryce Canyon Camp Store, Bryce Canyon National Park, Bryce, UT. Pours a hazy amber color with a large, tight off white head and excellent retention. Good lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. The taste follows the nose. Good caramel malt flavor without the typical chemical finish. Nice and smooth and clean, more like an amber lager versus an amber ale. Not too strong or too sweet. Another mellow Moab beer. Much better than their draft sampler. Very easy drinking.

From Feb 2008
I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
First off, the label says Moab Brewery Belgrade Mt so I'm slightly confused here(contract brewed?) but:
It pours from 12oz bottle a cloudy gold with a 2 finger+ head of foam. Better than average head retention.
The smell has some earthiness, hops, and some fruit.
The taste has an initial malt roastiness to it followed by some citrus hops and then it all seems to fade away. Quickly. Hmm...the finish is *very* watery as is the mouthfeel and I'd have to say that this isn't a very good stab at the style at all. The label says it's in the tradition of an English style Mild but if that's the case..um....nah, I'd give another example of the style a chance. No problem.
Bottom line: A very average brew at best and 1 I'd not consider to drink again.

Can from HomeBrewStuff. Quite a disappointment. On all counts, this brew falls short for the style, dry, murky, musty, metallic.

Can from Brewforia. Pours dark hazy gold with a slight white head. Aroma is just malty. Med minus body. Flavor is malty with perhaps some citrus. It’s not really very tasty. Yet it does have more flavor than a macro lager! Even gets some bitter in the finish. Not much tho.

tap at the brewpub - Pours clear light orange and has a light, malty aroma. It’s smooth, sweet, and mild with a light to medium body. Okay beer.

16oz can pours a honey gold with some creamy, white head. Nose of honey, a little doughy, a little citrus. Flavor is slightly sweet, slightly malty, some green tomato. Watery, lightly tannic finish. Not great.
