16 ounce draft. For as light alcohol as this is…. It is extremely earthy. Dried leaves, burnt grain, yeast. Whoa, not my thing at all.

12 oz bottle ordered at the Marriott in Livonia, Michigan. The pour is a slight haze copper orange with a thin light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt, apple fruit sweetness, and some honey. The taste is nutty malt, touch of floral, then moving towards softly sweet caramel in the back. The palate is medium bodied with lower carbonation and a clean nutty softly sweet mineral finish. Well constructed.

12oz bottle pours a murky amber with some creamy, clumpy white head. Nose has malt, mild bready notes, some yeast, a little apple. Flavor follows, mild apple, malt, bread crust, mildly gristy. Watery finish. Sort of your standard pub ale.

On tap at Grand Trunk. Pours a hazy amber with a gray head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of bread with touches of biscuit and sweet grain. Flavor combines bread and biscuit with a touch of toffee.

Bottle. Lactic chocolate malt and hay aroma. Medium brown with small head. Lightly sweet chocolate with very light malt flavor. Watery body. Not much here - at least there are no off tastes.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottles on 9/11/2013. Gusher upon opening, very high carbonation. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy orange amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a ton of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of toast, brown bread, light caramel, golden raisin, pear, apple, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with well balanced bready malt, earthy hop, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of toast, brown bread, light caramel, golden raisin, pear, apple, light nuttiness, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, brown bread, light nuttiness, plum, pear, apple, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Nice balance of bready malt, fruity yeast, and earthy hop flavors; with solid robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. I let the carbonation dissipate in the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with no warming present after the finish as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a nice mild ale. Well balanced bready malt, earthy hop, and fruity yeast flavors with solid robustness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
