From Sept 2008

I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!

It pours a nice clear amber gold with a 2 finger head of foam. All of the Zion beers I've tried do a great job in the appearance department.

The smell is the lightest of their brews for me. Just a bit of some caramel malt and not much else.

The taste is light caramel malt sweetness with light hop bitterness. Some fruit as well. Well, this is also the lightest of their brews in taste but what's there is good.

Mouthfeel is light as is the carbonation. Pretty drinkable for being so lightly flavoured...

The foam doesn't last as long as their other brews and lacing is just average.

Bottom line: The style isn't my favourite but....this is tasty enough and drinkable enough to make it worthy of trying.

On tap in a flight at the brewpub. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a small, gray head and thick lacing. The aroma is toffee, dank earthy hops, black pepper, and ash. Sweet and malty, with an acrid bitterness. Light to medium body, oily, and clingy. This is a nicely aromatic and malt-forward amber ale, but the flavor is not quite right, and the mouthfeel is awful.

June 2010: On tap in ’The Bit and Spur’, Springdale, outside Zion NP. Pint glass of slightly hazy amber coloured beer, off-white, thinning head sat on top. The aroma was fizzy mix of malted biscuits, brown toast and citrus hop esters. The flavours within the beer mirrored the smells, including the fizzy bit, it seemed over carbonated to my English palate (used to cask stuff I suppose). Pleasant enough, but not a beer I looked for again while in Utah. Complimented my Pasta meal well and I’d recommend the food before this beer.

Courtesy of hellbilly. Pours semi hazy copper with white head. The mild aroma emits some tartness from something like peach fruit and then a hint of cherries. The taste has a nice malt roastiness followed by peach and apricot notes. Toward the finish it seems to get somewhat tart with a tannin like quality.
