On tap at VCBW Festival, pours a clean dark amber with a tiny white head. Nose is bland, with toasted malt and light cereal sweetness. Flavour is bland and rather tasteless, with toasted malt and a rather off-putting astringency. Nothing much to this. Quite poor.

Draft - Light grains and toffee. Clear copper with a decent white head. Grainy bitterness and toffee. More like a bitter.

Draught at the brewery
Beautiful amber color, bright, hazy, with compact beige head. The aroma carries too much yeast, but the malt flavor is biscuity, with some caramel layer, nice; unfortunately in the final there is a large amount of chicory-like bitterness, that also hides any hop quality, if any, and generates a problematic finish.
Good malt job, but needs some rethinking with the fermentation.
