Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber orange with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of straw and hay with an earthy grain backbone. Flavor is similar with straw, hay and grains throughout the beer.

Received this in trade from tedpeer, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a slightly cloudy orange-amber with a smallish bubbly off white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is malty, a bit fruity, but kind of bland. Would have done well with some hop presence. Taste is malty, I get some caramel, some toffee, very dry finish. Mouthfeel is kind of watery maybe a bit oily. Body is a bit thin. Carbonation is crisp. Not a bad beer, just somewhat unremarkable. I could see a bud drinker transitioning to this quite easily.

12oz bottle. Murky amber-brown color. Big, steady beige head. Aroma of pungent, citrus laced amber malt. Very fruity, almost approaching berry tones with the amber malt. Slightly lemony, there is a chance that this is infected. Still does the job as an Amber, pretty drinkable.

Big thanks goes out to CanIhave4beers for this unique sample! Pour is a darker orange brwn with a tad of sediment from the bottom of the bottle. Aroma is a tad sweet with some floral hoppy notes. No head on this brew and even tho there is some creamy signs of continuos carbonation within. Comes across rather viscous and strong. The ABV is not listed here but I would guess around 6%. Has a fun tartness about which I really appreciate. Interesting and fun even tho there is this bitter malt or hop background that keeps lurking around. Has some interesting choco malt feel in there too. Quite a complex beer. Citrusy creamy sizzle for carbonation on the palate. Fun luvin and friendly. Finish is a tad bitter and it has a medium linger to it, this is probably the only drawback that a lager lover would have with this beer. Very good experience overall.

12 oz bottle courtesy of heemer77. Pour is clear mahogany ruby brown with a 1 1/2 inch off white head. Aroma of carrots and vegetables that are a little off. Some dusty malt behind that. Peanut / peanut oil is present in the nose as well. Not a real good nose. Taste is nutty sweet malt, some weird chemical fruit deal going on, finish has buttery almond to it. Pretty weird tasting, though not unpleasant like the nose. Palate is thin medium, a bit oily. To be fair to Eric, he did warn me!

Draft, at Olde Main. Sweet, a little nutty. Comes in a little bit thin and watery, though. Has a nice, Irish ale hoppy smell that does carry through in the taste. Certainly easy drinking. I think most of the brews here are still a work in progress.
