Served on draft at the Basecamp. Pours a clear red-amber color with a large creamy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, floral hops and nutty notes. The taste is caramel, stone fruits and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied, well balanced and refreshing.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 11/21/12

Aroma: The nose is balanced between the caramel malts, and some light hops
Appearance: It pours a clear caramel orange color with a beige head and heavy lace
Flavor: The taste is much like the nose, it leans malty, with caramel flavors and some light hops
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a pretty soft carbonation, and a mildly dry finish
Overall Impression: This was a pretty nice looking beer, but the rest of it didn't really live up to the pour. Overall, I thought that this one was a decent lager, nothing too exciting, but no real qualms with it either. I also enjoyed that it had "Benjamin" in the name.
