6.4/10 β€” Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma of somewhat stale-ish malt, caramel, a bit of toastiness, light fruitiness and some earthy hops. Flavor starts with some sweetish maltiness, caramelly, a bit toasty, with a nutty note, and a moderately bitter hoppy finish, earthy and a bit minerally. Medium-bodied.

Draft at The Full Sail Pilsener Room in Portland, OR on 5 June 2013. Copper colour with a thin light brown head. Grainy, slightly cereal aroma. Taste is more bitter than I would have expected for the style, but there is some sweetness on the palate.

12 ounce bottle - clear light amber pour - aroma of bready maltiness, floral and earthy hops, a slight metallic note - medium full carbonation in the mouth - flavor is initially dry, a little Biscuity - mostly dry throughout, and quite bitter, particularly in the finish - hops are a bit sharp - some light caramel sweetness tries to balance in the finish, but it is not enough - some alcohol evident in the finish as well - I enjoy the dry, earthy malt profile, but there are some rough elements that make it less enjoyable than it could be.
