A 2001 Silver Medal Winner at the North American Brewers' Association competition. A deep-copper colored medium - bodied ale. Its fresh flavor is smooth and carefully balanced with a nice mellowness and hint of caramel malt balanced by medium hop bitterness. It is an all malt beer that is naturally carbonated. A very drinkable beer all on its own and pairs well with all kinds of foods.

12 ounce bottle from a Sedona Liquors in Sedona, AZ. Amber orange pour. Brief beige head. Faint toasted malt aroma. Flavor is sweet toasted malt. Notes of brown sugar and brown bread. Thin and lacking any depth. Disappointing.

Bottle at a restaurant in Sedona. Pours a clear copper with a finger of off-white head that lingers. Caramel, toffee and light nutty notes as it warms. Palate is one-dimensional with caramel malt. Not overly sweet, just not a lot going on. Balanced and bland finish.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine, Scottsdale, AZ. Pours a clear amber color with a giant khaki head and annoyingly great retention. Very good lacing. Faint caramel aroma. Tastes more like an amber lager / Vienna lager versus an amber ale. Again, a very faint caramel flavor. Light body. Foamy mouthfeel. Not bitter. No bad flavors, just very subdued. Easy drinking.

On tap. Pours a clear copper with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has straw and earthy bread with a bit of biscuit. Flavor combines earthy bread and biscuit with some straw and hay underlying.

12oz bottle from Top Shelf Liqours, Cottenwood, AZ. A golden amber colour with a ring of white head; sweet malty aroma with a touch of spice; thin in the mouth with a caramel malt taste; and little in the way of hops of finish.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Clear, golden amber with quickly dissipating off white head. Biscuit and toffee malt with a bit of caramel. Very thin body, almost watery, slight oil texture. Nice flavour, but far too light.
