Poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy semi-burnt amber color with a slim white foamy head. Subtle lace.
The aroma starts with some sweet caramel malts. Gets some toffee in there. And then some stonefruit. Sly grassiness.
The flavor brings in those aromas sweetly with a little bit of grassy hop punch in the backbone. Sly grassy bitter to malty aftertaste. Quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel to it. Decent carbonation. Malts want to smooth it out and do a decent job.
Overall, good amber ale that I could have again.
