COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Smooth and supple, this is created with three varieties of hops and caramel malts to created a rich, full-bodied pioneering amber ale.

Draft sample at brewpub from notes in fall 2002. Poured a clear amber color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium hop and sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a soft texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Another smooth session brew.

A light gold color and a small white head. An aroma of hops and caramel. A flavor of hops, malt and lightly of caramel and grain. Light finish. Wasn't terribly impressed

This is what I call a good beer. It has a good taste, however not hopped enough. Overall this is a good heavy beer.

Yep, serious caramel malts alright, and unfortunately pretty weakly hopped. But the worst thing (and on balance this was quite drinkable) was the corny, super grainy way it warmed up. Hmmm. Not too crisp and clean.

Great mouth feel but really not very flavorful. Sean was reaching hard to find those sesame tones. I also feel he spent an inordinate amount of time studying the label in order to give you all a ’proper’ deScription ...

You really can’t comment on this brew without mentioning the titillating label on the bottled version. I hear the brewer’s wife modeled for it, but I suspect they augmented her natural endowments somewhat. If not for her well placed suspender straps, this thing would be soft porn brew. Before you fall all over yourselves trying to get a bottle, though, here is what it drinks like: rounded, toasted sesame malt flavour in a decent body - not as substantial as the label might suggest, but a decent body, to be sure.

Probably the best beer they have. If you are a fan of heavy beer, this is their best.

Good amber beer. One of the more pleasant one’s from my perspective. I have had both this and their Salt City Slugger and have thought both are excellent. Haven’t had the Broken Putter yet. Strong flavor from an amber.
