Draft pour pint at BB’s. Wasn’t expecting to get such a refreshing amber out of this, but it really was. Ruby pour with an active fizz head. Caramel malt and soft spice aroma. Cool flavor with a moderate rich caramel malt. Mild toasty finish. Cant complain wiyh this one. Well executed amber. Playing a game of not knowing the beers, and having them just bring me one. Good pick here.

Can thanks to stephrocks: Poured a mahogany brown with a two finger beige head. Aroma is leafy malt and tobacco. Taste is a sweet toffee malt, it has a light hop bite that helps balance the sweetness.

Sample at Oldsmar Tap House. Clear amber color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of malt, caramel and slight hops. Light-bodied with flavors of caramel malt and grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Decent overall.
