Pours fairly clear amber. Small creamy, stable white head. Scent is less caramelly, malty or crisper than their other versions, bit sharp and rough. Not a very typical bitter to me, even. Taste is full, caramel, doughy. Sharper bitterness, not as caramelly or malty as I'd like.

Can from Utobeer, Borough. Aroma combines berries with malts and rye. Opaque chestnut brown. Thin foamy white head recedes abruptly. Medium bitter rye alongside a berry sour edge. Underlying caramel, moreso into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat dry and astringent finish. I like. Marketed as a Best but more of an ESB for me. US hops and rye work.
