Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours a light amber color with cream colored head. Extremely clear with perfect amount of laciness on the head. Hardly anything there on the aroma. If anything is a light hoppy aroma but not a lot there. Taste is gently hoppy while on the tongue and fades off to a malty aftertaste. As far as ambers go (not my favorite style) this is pretty muc
On tap at Brewskis in Fayetteville AR. Copper amber with an off white (mostly white) head medium in size and carbonation. Mild aroma, slightly malty and hop spicy, but not remarkable. Medium body with mid-range bitterness. Toasted caramel fills out the bill. OK beer.
Lighter amber color with an ample tan head. Aroma is a bit light, but consisted of a nice sweet and hoppy scent. Taste is more malty with a light hops kick and hints of caramel. Tastes good, but lacked intensity.
