On tap at the brewpub. Pours a deep amber with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel malts, brown malts, bready malt, light fruits. Flavor of bready malts, cracker, floral notes. A malty, tasty amber, a little simple. Good malts though and not too sweet.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Dogbrick (9830) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - APR 21, 2010
On draught at Michael OTooles (as "OTooles Ale"). The beer is a murky amber color with a thin beige head that burns away quickly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Caramel malt in the nose along with some fruity notes. Medium, clean body with flavors of roasted malt, caramel and fruit. Mild hops in the background as well. The finish is malty and leaves a caramel aftertaste. A rather one-dimensional beer overall.

Somewhat like an Alt, but closer to an ESB. Pretty good though a little thin.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 JaBier (5739) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - SEP 29, 2009
Sample at the North Market Microbrew Festival on 09/12/2009 (happy 29th berfday to me). Pours cloudy amber with a thin tan head. Caramel malt aroma wtih some earthy hops and a hint of diacetyl. Nicely balanced flavor with earthy hops and caramel malt, but still getting some diacetyl in there. Not a bad beer overall, but not great.
