Shaker @ the brewpub. The beer is a copper color with a strong sticky head. The head has good retention and rings are formed as I gulp the beer down, akin to the age rings on a tree stump. Aroma has a great bitter, herbal hop aroma. I love it. Its a clean lager with bitter herbal hops; awesome. The slight difference here is a bit of sweetness, just a bit coming off the malt. Flavor has a great bitter herbal hop flavor as well mixed with that light sweetness. Otherwise it is all clean, nothing else coming off the malt.
Bottom line: Just a simple, clean beer with an herbal hop center and a light malt sweetness.

10 oz draft pour at the brewpub. Pour is a clear golden amber with a smallish white head that falls with glass coating lacing. Aroma of not too much, some straw some hay, maybe a touch of earthiness behind that. Taste is mild sweet malt followed quickly by really drying straw mineral hops. Palate has light to medium body with lighter carbonation and the aforementioned dry finish. This was clean and easy to drink, nice, well made, straight forward beer.
