I wasn’t too sure what I had purchased. A true mild Ale is very hard to find in the U.S. and the better examples I had had were all homebrews. This pours a clear medium amber body with a foamy white head. The aroma is malty with a mild hop backing. The flavor is nutty malt sweetness that rounds out nicely with just a touch of hops. Very smooth and drinkable. Flavorful, medium bodied and somewhat filling. A malted milk ball in a glass.

When southern tier started they specialized in traditional ales. While this was a fine example of the style it is a beer that I do not miss overly and I am happy with the newer focus of the brewer. +++Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium amber color with a large creamy tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty. The flavor was sweet an malty with a bit of toasted malt and nut on the finish. A decently drinkable brew but nothing to seek out. Decent.

Dull hazy golden beer with a slight malty nose. Nice cooky malt with a nice little hopyness with just a twinge of lemon. The malt is slightly caramelized,,,nice beer but everything is a bit too restrained...medium body

Pours a clear amber/copper color with a thin off-white head. This is a light-bodied ale with earthy hops and toasty/nutty malts. Somewhat bitter. A decent session ale that shouldn't offend anyone. Thanks Dan (jah noth) for the bottle.

Nice beer. Had it last night on tap in Busti, NY. Nice, golden/amber color, small head. Faint alcohol smell, not too much. Taste... very interesting. A bit bitter and dry, slightly peppery almost. Finished nice and smooth. Definitely drinkable, but was more expensive than other beers, and I was running low on cash, so I only had one for the tasting value. It was worth it.

Decent copper colour, pretty nice looking for the style. Moderate off-white head which stays for a while. Medium/Thin bodied with a decent taste. Some hops, some malt but all-in-all a good beer to just sit down and drink without thinking too hard about the complexities. No big complaints about the taste, only that it needs a bit more. I had a pitcher of this on Draught at MacGreggor's in Rochester, New York.

First batch, will re-rate after they get settled
Amber colour; note of oxidized hops but mostly just water. Very empty. This tastes like something a Canadian brewery would do - make a bland amber ale as their flagship. Disappointing given the brewer's reputation and past products (like Ellicottville Pale).
