Amber pour, small white head. Solid cereals, grassy hops, light caramels, and toffee. Solid mouthfeel, a tad low on the carb. Finish is a toich too sweet, but the bitterness kicks in and helps to balance it out.

Bottle: Poured a light golden/amber color ale with a small foamy head with light retention and not much lacing. Aroma of unrefined grainy notes which is not the most enticing. Taste is also dominated by off unrefined grainy notes with weird vegetable aftertaste. Body is about average for style with medium carbonation. Something appears to be off here.

Pretty boring red lager. Average carbonation. Pours reddish clear amber. Finishes a little sweet with some off-tasting sourness - even the gold is better than this. Doesn’t come together well. Tap at brewpub.

A hazed amber (not red) ale with a thick frothy off white head. In aroma, smooth caramel malt with light butterscotch, fruity esters, not bad. In mouth, a sweet caramel malt with faint herbal hops, light lemon and tropical fruits, pledge cleaning spray, weird. On tap at brewpub, July 7 2012.
