Listed at 5% abv, IBU 25. Okay malt aroma, has weak foam on a soft clear brown body. Flavour is tepid soft malt and nothing else. Weak carbonation on the mouth. It's boring but drinkable.

Bottle from the brewery. Somewhat hazy light brown colour with not much head. The aroma is toasty and woody, and most of this is hop character, with a light, supporting brown sugar sweetness. Moderately bitter, with woody, leafy hop character, a nice brown sugar sweetness, and a splash of alcohol in the balanced finish. Not bad, kind of an old school American Brown, like Blue Ridge Hopfest or something.

Bottle from the brewery shop
Dark brown, brown color. The aroma and flavor have some caramel and shades of coffee, the hops provide some mild resins and enough bitterness.
Not bad, but very basic.

650mL bottle, pours a dark amber brown with a small white head. Nose brings out a metallic toasted malt -- not a whole lot else here. Flavour is pretty unadventurous, with toasted malt and dry corn syrup. Not pleasant at all. What the hell were they thinking here? Pointless creation.
