tap at Dash In - Pours copper colored with a mild malt aroma that has a touch of caramel. The flavor is led by caramel malt. It’s moderately bitter with citrus, especially in the finish. Lingers pleasantly. Good.

Sample at Twenty Tap in Indianapolis. Pours a clear amber-brown color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes rapidly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Notes of hops and caramel malt in the nose. Light body with flavors of sweet malt and caramel, hops and a touch of fruit. The finish is malty with a caramel and mild hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft. Amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Pleasant aroma of caramel, resin, candy. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and fizzy carbonation. The aroma is better than the flavor. Raw grain taste. Grassy hops. A bit unclean, but not off-putting.

On tap. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma has a nice combination of sweet grains and citrus hops. Flavor is dominated by pine hops and the grain and citrus notes are an after thought.
