(Contract-brewed version, Sand Creek Brewery)
Picked up a couple singles in Galena while passing through. No freshness date on the bottle. The brewpub is opening in August 2010, hoping the quality greatly improves.
Into an 8 oz. Hamms goblet, this has a nice cap of white foam, and a burnt copper body. Slightly hazed with slow carbonation rising. The head fades to a ring at the edge.
Apple, caramel, and nutty toasted malt aroma. So far so good.
Taste isn't as good, some toasted grain, mild bitterness, with an odd vegetal note. Some huskiness and slight residual sweetness. Light carbonation, somewhat watery, though it's an easy drinking beer. Hope to try this again from the brewpub in the future.

Not bad. I like more malt and Carmel in Amber.
