10 oz. draft at the brewpub in Lawrence, Kansas. The pour is a clear copper with a light tan head. The aroma is husky resin hops, some herbal floral and a semi-sweet caramel malt. The taste is reverse of the nose, with the caramel upfront, moving into herbal floral hops, drying out in the finish. The palate is medium to light bodied, soft natural carbonation and the dry finish. Easy drinking.

10oz pour at the brewpub. Dark colored red with a strong long lasting head. Aroma is hop heavy with lots of sweet (not sugary) malt character. Beer follows up with a just a lot of caramel and fruity hops. Its not my bag, the strong caramel and hops don’t work for me.
