12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Jan 10 2011 notched in label.

Pours a clear copper color with a finger of fluffy foam that fades away slowly. Aroma is spicy, peppery... almost like a saison.

First sip is... muted. Minimal sweetness, minimal hoppiness, just a minerally flavor that finishes very dry. Finishes with a bit of a cabbage aftertaste. Overall pretty bland - no real flavors shine through.

Well, I'm glad I got this as part of a mix pack and not as a whole 6er. I will say that it looks great, but that's where the positives end. Cross this one off the list - not worth getting again.

Poured out equal parts orange and amber, maybe a little brown thrown in to round things out. Aroma was a nice sweet lightly bready malt aroma, with the slightest hop tickle, pretty nice, especially considering the usual way to get me to rate aroma higher on an amber is to just dump a bunch of dry hops in.

Taste, back to ordinary, no off flavors, no depth, but pretty standard crystal and caramel malt presence. Hopping is average and fair. Easy enough to drink, but not going to impress your hardcore beer nerd friends, this one is more geared towards others, maybe waiting to make the leap.
