Can shared by a friend. Thanks Seth! Pours a clear darker amber with a finger of off-white foam that lingers. Malty aromas with light toasted caramel and pepper notes. Balanced on the palate with a nice lingering toasted malt finish. Very drinkable and balanced w/o being overly sweet.

Can. Pour is fairly dark... more of a reddish brown than anything else. Aromas are slightly nutty with some apple notes and a little bit of toffee. Flavor is very nice. Kind of a sweet and jammy fruit presence holds things together with a little bit of autumn leaves type stuff going on. Good beer.

16 ounce can into pint glass; no canning date, but was released recently. Pours slightly hazy deep ruby red color with a 1 finger fairly dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of caramel, toast, toffee, biscuit, orange peel, pear, apple, brown sugar, floral, grass, slight pine, and floral earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of hop and malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, orange zest, pear, apple, brown sugar, floral, grass, slight pine, and floral/toasted earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toffee, toast, biscuit, orange zest, pear, apple, brown sugar, floral, grass, and floral earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and robustness of malt flavors with a fair amount of hop presence; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and very smooth mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good amber ale. Good robustness and balance of malt and moderate hop flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
