UPDATED: MAR 31, 2006 Cask at the brewpub. Cloudy dark reddish amber, rich head. Aroma of mango and grapefruit. Fairly sweet with soft mouthfeel. Theres some crystal malt character, but it does not disturb. There are also plenty of exotic fruits before a finish with medium bitterness. I really like this beer!

On tap at the brewery. Clear deep amber colour. Sweet, caramelly aroma. Very sweet and toffeeish. Flavour is quite sweet and soft. Lightly hopped, low bitterness, lingering candyish malts. Body comes across a bit thin. Doesnt really ever add up to the sum of its parts.

They had both a Red and an Amber, and in that situation I usually assume the Red to be the more robust of the two. So I tried that one. Hazy, dark amber colour. Fruity, slightly minty aroma. Soft body. Sweetish brown sugar and dessert apple character, with light caramel. Finishes a little watery. There are good elements here - I like what they appear to be aiming for with the subtle malt base and fruity/herbal hops but its a bit muddled.
