A red copper beer in with a thick collapsing mocha mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with nutty notes, grassy hops. In mouth, a lightly sweet malt with nutty notes, a bit watery, so-so. On tap at Gordon Biersch Dulles.

12 ounce bottle found at the Redwood Road state store. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. A sweet nose of fruit and honey. A light refreshing brew, some light fruity hops, biscuit, spices. Pretty nice.

Draught at SFO. Golden color with just a touch of amber. Malty and rich flavor, smooth. Pretty authentic. Slightly strong but sweet and decently balanced.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy golden colour. Small creamy white head. The flavour has a hint of rough bitterness, a good mouthfeel. Creamy or papery finish.

12oz bottle pours clear copper with gold edges and thin tan head. The modest aroma has floral hops, spicy hops, a touch of earthiness and some grainy malts. The taste has pleasing levels of floral and spicy hop flavor and bitterness. To midway a fresh graininess comes to the surface creating a crisp fresh sensation. Into the finish lagery yeast and a touch of fruity esters join in as the hops grow a bit in bitterness. Nice brew.

12oz bottle. Aroma was yeasty, bready, malty. Flavor was mild roasted malts, notes of yeast, touch of hops in the finish. Decent, but forgettable.
