On tap at the Armsby Abbey in Worcester, MA, served in a 12 oz. snifter, it pours a bright peachy amber color. It's slightly cloudy with nice lacing and a full pale head. The smell of hops is mellow, complimented by sweet and creamy malt, and backed up with sweet citrus aromas. The taste is very creamy, but heavier than the original Sweet Action. The hop flavor comes through but is balanced by a mild bread and malt flavor. The alcohol is mildly apparent but the flavors of honey and sweet citrus, cream, and hops are too delicious to pay it attention. This beer has a medium body with a lingering taste. It's dangerously drinkable but a little sweet to have more than a few, unless you're in love with it like I am.

A good strong ale that's missing just a touch of flavor to really stand out. No complaints, would drink again.

This one's a real winner. A beer this great deserves an extended review, and, accordingly, I will provide one. Here goes:
A: Dark but clear brown. The beer is very translucent despite being of the darker variety. It's accompanied by a white, creamy head and superb lacing. Overall, the beer looks really great. Hopefully the taste will follow suit.
S: Some floral scents (like citrus and orange) accompanied by superb malt. The beer is extraordinarily well-balanced. The malt smells very candy-like; lots of brown sugar and succulent caramel. I feel like a kid at a carnival who's about to bite into cotton-candy for the very first time.
T: Superb! Magnifico! Exquisite! Some hops, but the malt is where this beer is. Sweet candy, sugar, molasses, caramel - just great! I could drink this for the rest of my life.
F: Dangerously drinkable. Very light and crisp - almost as light as a Pilsner. The sweetness dulls the crispness somewhat, but let's face it: I can't really find any fault with this beer as it is.
O: Excellent.

Poured a clear, copper body with one-finger head that left a minor lace ring and beer has an aroma that is caramel, toffee, and bread with hints of vanilla and booze. Lightly sweet vanilla aspect first hits me and there is a bready chewiness and caramel bite to this beer, with possible toffee and figs as well. Easy finish as just a touch of booze complements beer.
