Bottle thanks to Jack! Pours a clear gold with an amber hue and an near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of biscuit with some earthy grains and a touch of grass. Flavor is full of biscuit, a touch of butterscotch, sweet grains and some grass supporting.

Bottle from Harris Teeter, Barracks Road. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma is light citrus, apple, bread. Flavor is burnt malt, bitter citrus peel, sunflower seed shells, dandelion, light earth. I like it, but I don’t love it.

4 oz pour on draft at Old Bust Head. Clear golden yellow with off-white head. Aromas of biscuit, toasty notes, green pepper. Tastes of biscuit, toasty notes, citrus, floral notes. Medium body with a dry finish. Tastes closer to an English pale than an American pale to me.
