Bottle. Goodness. This was a pretty good beer. Amber gold in color with a medium sized, fliffy head. Aroma was grains with hints of spice. Taste was toasted grains with a spicy taste up front. Kind of sweet with a touch of tree frui on the finish.

Bottle. Honey, berry, and caramel malt aroma. Amber with large off-white head. Sweet honey, caramel malt, and moderately bitter herbal alcohol flavor. Okay but on the rough side.

Bottle: Clear copper-brown with a creamy beige head. Apple, honey, caramel aroma. Sweet, caramel apple taste...honey, caramel malt. Sweet, tasty drinks very lightly... Very nice....so easy drinking this one could be dangerous......ridiculously smooth for the ABV.

Served on draft at Beer Run. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of honey, herbal notes, grapes and faint malts. The taste is sweet honey, grain, grapes and herbal hops. Medium bodied. Decent.

Thanks to Rogueone for sharing a growler. The beer is a clear ruddy orange color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and honey along with a touch of fruit. Medium body with flavors of toasted malt, honey, fruit and a touch of hops. The finish is sweet and fruity and the honey flavor lingers for a bit. Decent overall.

Draft. Amber body with a frothy, white head, fully diminishing. The nose is strong with honey. Notes of toasted grain, citrus and straw. Muted citrus. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately bitter and lightly to moderately sweet. Medium body, sticky texture, moderate carbonation. Not a great first impression with a husky sweet taste on first sip. The sweetness, though too much, is not cloying and the beer grew on me despite the lack of hop balance.
