A vast improvement on the brewers Four Seasons Autumn Amber. Cant say I looked forward to trying this but its not bad at all - one of Cascades better brews. It looks... em... amber and failed to raise more than a thin film for a head, with moderate lacing. The aroma was more promising, with blackberry jam and quince paste bouncing on a fat bed of crystal malt. Its very sweet-smelling but with an earthy undertone. In the mouth, its mainly chewy toffee with more quince paste before the mildest of dry finishes, In fact, it falls away at the end. Wheres that "extra gift of hops"? Reminded me of a bantamwieght version of one of the chewier US pale ales but lacking real punch. Theres a little pine in the mix here but its subtle. The more I drank this, the more I liked it. (375ml bottle, bb 22/5/06)
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 bridge (659) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - APR 23, 2006
Lots of toffee malt in this, but its rather thin and sweet. The sweetness and bitterness seem to gang up on the tongue and, for me, make it rather unpleasant - mostly from the sweetness. However if I treat it more as a quaffing drink, which is probably the way its intended, the flavours arent so overbearing and it isnt so cloying. Anyway, its good to see a macro brewery having a go at something different.

Light amber in colour, with a thin white head. Aroma is quite rich with caramel, not bad at all. The mouthfull is however very thin and poor. The finish is weak, with very little bitterness anywhere in the beer. OK
