On tap at the source. Pours with a clear bronze to copper colored body with a small off-white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, light diacetyl, fruity and a bit of a papery note. Flavors of pear and other fruit esters, paper, grainy, and caramel. Medium to light bitterness, with very little hop flavor. Medium dry finish. The papery note (which I normally associate with hot side aeration or poor malt quality) detracts from the beer.

On tap at the Jupiter brewpub some years ago. Decent dark brown colour, again no head as they want to fill the glass up and not be seen to "rip off" customers with lousy head! Yeah, that’s all head is, a ripoff.... pft, Americans. But anyways, there was plenty of malt on the tongue and not enough aroma as it was chilled too extensively. Another simple brew that lacks complexity, but goes well with pizza. Well, what can I say - Try Jupiter’s pizza.

Draft. Ruby-amber beer with an off-white head. Malt, toasty aroma with light darker malts. Malty, and light toasty flavor with light hops. Medium bodied. Malt and light toastiness lingers with light citrus.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruity to floral hoppy swept through a smooth caramelish malt note. Sweet flavoured, caramel and breadish with a light spiced hoppy note. Bitter and lingering malt flavoured finish.

Draft at the brewpub. An amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of chewy malt and caramel, as well as light notes of nuts, leading to a medium bitter finish, where the nuts lingers.
