650ml bottle. Clear, reddish brown, dark amber colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Rather expressionless malty aroma has a touch of red berries and wet straw. A minimally sweet, caramel malt guerilla with a fruity touch of red berries fights a forlorn battle against a plain, ignorant, soapy and bitter hoppy totalitarian regime trying to sedate the peoples with almond-like sweetmeat. For us Europeans, spoiled almost exclusively with California’s first-class products, this is an hitherto rare example of mediocrity.

Draft @ Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens, Escondido, CA. Pours a dark amber reddish color with an off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma with hoppy hints. Fruity malty earthy hoppy caramel flavor. Has a fruity malty earthy hoppy finish.
