draft - Pours copper with a slim head. There’s a touch of floral hops and some malt in the light aroma. The flavor is mildly hoppy, but caramel malt is the main feature. The finish is dry. This one’s an okay session brew, but if you’re somewhere that has it, you can probably choose something better.

This beer came in by beer club. I have not encountered it before. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright copper color with a medium sized yellow-tan head that fades fairly quickly. The aroma is lightly nutty and has a vague floral hop presence. The flavor is sour nut with a tangy floral hop center and a dry nutty finish. The dryness lingers.

2004 bottle at Parrish Cafe in Boston. Pours a light brown with some light auburn tinges. Medium yellow/white head. Aroma of soft soily hops and barley. Filtered color. Flavor is hoppy but not overly acidic. Hints of dry barley, light caramel and toffee notes with plenty of grainy texture. For a session pale, this stuff is dynamite. Flavor is crisp, flavorful and has no major flaws. Palate shows a medium body, light wateriness, with a good soft carbonation.
