Good amber color,small white head that faded fast leaving a slight lacing.Mildly malty aroma with a nice hop presence.Nice malty flavor mild sweetness in the beginning that changes to something slightly sour then changing again to a mild bitter hop taste.The after taste was was malty and hoppy with a nice dry finish.A pretty decent brew and well wo
Color is amber-red with a frothy tan head. Looks nice in my Duvel glass. Had a wiff of skunk when I popped the top, but the aroma in the glass was roasted malt. Flavor starts sweet them a mild hop bite and finishing somewhat dry. It's a keeper.
UPDATED: AUG 18, 2005 Crystal clear bronze body, rich sudsy white head, and good lacing. Nice nutty caramel malt and fruit flavors. Reminds me of caramelized apples. Medium sweetness and silky palate with a sour finish. A fine bitter.
