Backlog, from notes. On tap @ the brewpub in Phoenix, AZ, 6 June 2001. Aroma’s of caramel sweetness and some fruit with lots of aromatic hops. Flavor is moderate bitter with a malty sweet backbone. Finishes with a solid bitterness. Good!

Hazy amber beer, little white head. Crisp palate turning softer, well balanced. Good malt base for some mildly bitter orange marmalade hops. Finishes with creamy malt and a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Tasty little beer.
