On tap @ Ghetto Something. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit, bread and herbs. Pours clear amber brown color with medium sized creamy off-white head and good lacing. Taste starts with light sweet caramel and toasted malt, following is mild fruity, pleasantly hoppy with a hint of spices and leading to rather dry finish. Medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Not overly sweet, therefore excellently drinkable...
