Dark amber, not much head, a bit sweet, fruity, some burnt phenols on the palate that shouldn’t be there.

Sample at the tap room. Clear orange-gold color with a thin white head that diminishes quickly to a sparse outer ring. Small patches of lacing. Roasted malt, caramel and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with a caramel malt character and notes of fruit and earthy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste.Decent overall.
