Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

Reviewed from notes. Poured into a tulip. The color is a moderate orange-copper with a slight white head and not too much lacing. The nose brings some very, very mild hops along with some pale malt and light caramel. The taste pulls back so that the hops are nearly non-existent, not even to the level of a mild. Fairly light feel without really any
Bottle. Amber small to average and fully diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, some fruitiness and caramel, citrus and grapefruit hoppyness. Body is medium, malty and lightly sweetish flavor, citrus and grapefruit hoppyness, some caramel and fruitiness. Finish is average, malty and lightlly sweetish, citrus and grapefruit hoppyness,
Bottle gift of ThomasHazy amber color; medium sized compact head. Mild aroma of hops and toffee. Toffee flavor, with light malt; not too dry, indeed there is a light sugar presence; reasonably good hopping; correct bitterness; some brown sugar too in the final. Balanced, pleasant.
