Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Good & solid entry for the style. Slightly sweetish roasted malt flavoring with a fair balanced hop presence. Not too syrupy, sweet or heavy. Amber copper hues; emminently drinkable.
Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of toffee and caramel with some light spicey notes. Taste is somewhat spicey and bland. Godd for a session beer, but thats about it.
Light caramel brange brown color. First taste is malty caramel with hops kicking in at a low balanced level. Very smooth drinkable beer.
