On tap at Pete’s Brass Rail. It pours a golden color with a creamy off white head. The aroma is potent with flowers, hints of mint and menthol with some grapefruit in the background. The flavor is the same. Spicy hops with some mint, menthol, grapefruit, orange and hints of orchard fruit. Pretty strong toffee-like maltiness, but it has a reasonably dry finish. Still a bit heavy for me.

On tap at Pete’s Brass Rail. It pours a clear rich golden color with a medium off white head. The aroma is nice and fruity with lots of light Munich malt character, plum, toast and hints of banana. The flavor is soft, rich and malty with sweet honeyed plum and grape with toasted malt in the background and only mild hints of earthy hops. Very clean, but a little on the sweet side for me. Not bad though.

On tap at Pete’s Brass Rail. It pours a super clear pale golden yellow color with a white head. The aroma has cereal grains, corn, bread crust and very light citrusy/earthy hops. The flavor is clean with mild fruity esters of apple and pear. Strong cereal grains and lighter notes of corn. Medium earthy hop bitterness. Easy drinking and clean. A good alternative for BMC drinkers. It reminds me a lot of the old Schooners American Cream Ale. Probably the same recipe.

Nice rich and luscious brown and amber coloured body with speckles or ruby, brown and coper colours throughout. Aroma of a ton of elements including figs, juniper berries, caramel, toffee, apples and pears - all very strong. Full-bodied; Strong potent alcohol warmth up front with a backbone of a ton of malt, pit fruits, a light hoppy note and some very subdued herbal tastes. Aftertaste shows nice complex flavours with the alcohol and pit fruit flavours the strongest. Overall, a nice beer showing some good characteristics, a fresh taste and a very worthwhile beer to drink if you can find it. I sampled this pint on draught at Pete’s Brass Rail in Danville, California on 19-March-2011.
