Had this on tap while at David Copperfields the other night. Brew was poured to a deep copper color with a fair sized beige head that had some retention and did leave some lacing. The aromas from this brew where nice and I guess I would say delicate. Notice at first a caramel and nutty like malt scent that seemed to dominates the brew at first but then I was able to pick up a hop like aroma that seemed to be more floral than pine. Malt dominates the palate at first with caramel and a slight nut like favor but I picked up a strong hop flavor at the tail end. The hop flavor goes well with the brew, it does not seem to take over or even leave a harsh flavor in the mouth. Over all this is a fine brew, exceptionally smooth with all the characteristics that would lead to a fine session beer. Hope that the might send some up north!

Had me some of this at David Copperfield's in NYC.
The first word that came to mind when I took a sip was "soft". Not hard or harsh or GWAAHH I'M A BIG MANLY BEER! just... soft.
Razor thin delicate balance that holds all the way through.
I didn't get a whole lot of odor out of this as it was served a bit on the cold side and I very nearly guzzled down my pint. I expect it smells better as it warms.
If this is really 4.4%, I can't even begin to praise the sessionability of this beer.
Very, very nicely done. Keg me up.

I enjoyed a pint of this pleasant concction at the Brazen head in Brooklyn NY, it arrived clear, in the expected dark shade of auburn, with a middle of the road off white head, moderate retention, and fairly boring lacing. Malty and pleasing ale, nutty finish. Well crafted, to style, a fine sessioner

I had this beer on tap at Barcade in Williamsburg.
The beer poured with a little head that quickly dissipated after thirty seconds. The aroma was a blend of caramel, toffe, and a slight roasted nuttiness.
The initial taste is not as sweet, however, as a definite hop presence seems to dominate. It is only in the aftertaste and lingering effects does the malt seem to arrive once again.
Although I don't know if the hop variety is Fuggle, as Venom has stated, because the hops are a little harsh on the palate. Fuggle hops are characteristically soft and forgiving on the palate, and they usually do not overpower the malt.
The body was medium to thin, and there was slightly less than average carbonation.
All in all, this beer is a pretty good session ale.
