Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a red-caramel color with a medium sized creamy orange-beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was rather faint but tangy and sweetish with an almost butter note an a bit of fruity hops. The flavor was butter, tangy and sourish with a fruity hop note. Medium length finish. Medium body with a slick and oily mouthfeel.

My panhandle came in at 6%. On tap at the brewpub. Slightly dark and hazy like lighter colored iced tea. Mild ipa aroma. Nice lacing on this one. Fairly flat. Initially a little fruity then during the session it gets a little more hoppy bitter in personality. However, never approaches IPA in taste. Fairly good laid back attitude for an ale. Yes a little bit hoppy bitter towards the end but remains fairly civilized for a pale ale. Overall, not too bad for a lager lover.
