We kept this one simple, used water, malt, hops, yeast, and made it the kind of beer that will help you, when your (real or imaginary) people are tired, thirsty, hungry, enslaved, to step forward and state with authority: Let my people go!

This is a PALE ale? It pours a scrumptious clear chestnut with a thick and rather persistent light tan head. Malty aroma is not too strong, has subtle hints of fruit and cloves. Flavor is mainly malty with a hoppy undertone, bitter and woody hints, a snip of apple. Smooth mouthfeel has good fizz and average body, leaving a woody, hoppy finish. Let this one go in your mouth!

From tasting notes. I bought this a year ago and drank it the day I bought it. After I opened it I realized that it was over a year and a half old. I think either the distributor or the retailer should have taken it off the shelf about a year and three months beefore I bought it. Appearance: Hazy dark amber with a 1” finely bubbled, lacy foam cap. Smell: malt, biscuit – not hops. Taste: This has some biscuit flavors that are doing battle with some oxidized wet cardboard flavors. Mouthfeel: Medium body and carbonation.

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a mug glass. Label reads “Bottled 9/2012”.
A: The beer is a cloudy amber color, with a short dense off-white head that fades slowly and leaves a thick lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains light caramelized malts, a good amount of hops, some honey and some citrus.
T: The taste starts out bready with a hearty but not too heavy malt character followed by some sweetness from flavors of caramel, honey and some citrus. The hops presence is decent for the style and brings some balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.
M: Crisp and a little smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, decent kick, good representation of style, it’s a decent beer but there are better options in the style.
