From tap at Basement Beer Bar, Aalborg. Aroma is chewy bready and biscuity malt, caramel, toffee malt, hint of berries. Flavour is moderate sweet. Body is medium. An ’okay’ malty brew.

On tap at Angel's Trumpet Ale House, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has dry bready malt, subdued hops, and earthiness. Flavour is dry, with washed out hops, bready malt, and some vegetal notes. This is not well-calibrated at all. Surprising that Pizza Port would churn something out this haphazard. Poor hop expression, thin malts, just not good quality.

16 oz can from Total Wine - Las Vegas. Pours a dark amber color with a khaki head and very good retention. A few small spots of lacing. Caramel malt aroma. Caramel malt flavor up front with a little hops flavor in the finish. Slightly sweeter and less hoppy than your average amber ale. Medium body with a semi-slick mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Closer in taste to an amber lager versus an amber ale. Low bitterness. Better than expected.

Can at Bamboo. Malty, some sweetness, but quite grainy. Bit of citrus, decent spritziness. Minerals and lightness in the taste. Toffee. I was smashed at this stage, so who knows really?
