on tap-offwhite-amber/brown. A-toffee-med malt. T-toffee-med malt, 2nd earthy hops. 3.2

Pours a mostly clear deep amber brown color with a decent sized fluffy off white head that persists for quite a while. The aroma is a nice mix of caramel, toffee, sweet and brown sugars with a light but present aroma of citrus and light earth and pine. The flavor is malty with a fruity edge to it and a light bit of hop presence. Sweet caramel and sugary malts with quite a bit of toffee flavor to round things out. There’s a firm earthy hop presence to attempt to counter the sweetness, but this one leans more towards the malty side. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet light syrupy mouthfeel. This is a nice beer, it’s not horribly complex, but it’s certainly a well made flavorful brew. I can’t wait to try some more offerings from this newcomer.
