12 ounce bottle from Woodmans West Madison, WI. Pours a hazy copper color with a large frothy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral hops, caramel, nutty notes, stone fruits. The taste is nutty notes, toasted malts, stone fruits and earthy hops. Medium bodied. Tasty beer.

Draft at Old Fashioned. Filtered amber-orange-brown color. Thin, oily, non head. Sweet, mild, malty aroma. A beastly beer to be served by the pint. Sweet amber malt, fruity vanilla tones. Quite well executed, sort of like an unspiced Belgian Xmas beer. Creamy and drinkable, with some slight alcohol warmth. Nice.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed after a gut wrenching traffic jam 2 weeks before I cut my one way commute from 30 miles to 7. Appearance a slightly cloudy rich, vibrant amber with a thin white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of bountiful caramel malts, there is a roasted/smoky quality to it that I haven’t gotten from an amber ale before. Taste is rather thick for an amber ale, noticeable piney hop presence, caramel malts give it a robust mouthfeel with a hint of sweetness. Very good amber ale, job well done Ale Asylum!

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on the day I quit my job. Man I need this!!! Appearance cloudy golden/amber with rich white, frothy head. Aroma of pure citrus/floral hops with notes of grapefruit and other fruit characteristics. Taste is pretty well balanced with an obvious tilt on the hop end, a touch of sweetness from the citrus notes with dried apricot, definitely bitter and smooth at the same time, caramel malts come out in the back end. Carbonation is good, definitely a hoppier APA. Enjoyable!

12 oz bottle, $1.50 in mix-a-six at Woodman’s. Date code: 010311. Don’t let a hoppy beer like this sit around. Pop open: light color like a golden ale, but a nice froth of foam in IPA texture. Smacky hop aroma: orange Dreamsicle, a bit of pine. Amazingly, this is not a hop bomb. Just a fine beer with a pronounced hop balance. Tastes as it smells, with additional apricot and fir needles. An idea of juniper, too. Very easy drinking,too.

12oz bottle shared at the local HB club meeting. Clear lighter golden. color. Banana and light sweetness in the nose.. A pretty well fermented beer which actually makes the banana esters and sweetness a little overbearing in the flavor. Another too sweet American triple but light on body, too light. Make the body bigger and see where the beer goes.

Bottle at Bodega in La Crosse. This beer is a clear amber color with a thick off-white head that burns away slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and malt. Medium body with a resiny hops character that has floral and earthy notes, plus some malt. The finish is hoppy with a lingering bitterness left behind. Above average overall.
