12 oz. draft at Club CLT. Pours a crystal clear amber color with a khaki head and good retention. Great lacing. Slight caramel malt aroma. Very light caramel malt flavor, with a moderate hop finish. Clean, but a little more bitter than I prefer. Medium body and medium-light carbonation.

On tap at the CLT Priority Lounge. Ping glass. Pretty copper, duh, pour with a silky off-white head. Sweet breakfast cereal nose with a little mineral water punch. Bittersweet upfront, moderately astringent herbal hops, Honey breakfast cereal finish. Slightly too bitter for a casual beer. Nicely bold. Sizzling, tight, beaded, nitro-like carbonation. Really solid.

7 week old pint can A: Clear pale orange amber color with 1/2 of lasting beige foam. S: Mostly malty with hints of caramel, molasses and wood. T: Herbal hops hit then give way to dry woody malt notes, and finally a light caramel sweetness joins for a peppery bittersweet balance. M: Light, smooth and lowly but crisply carbonated with a dry finish. O: Not too sweet nor bitter. Approachable and refreshing. Very nice.

Can (4/21/21) from 1897 Market, CLT airport. It's a lightly hazy gold-light brown (honey brown) with light sparkle, finger-width beige head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is subtle caramel. Taste is toasted malts, caramel with some bittering hops. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and mostly malt and caramel finish. Overall, taste bests aroma. Basic elements are here but not terribly strong.

(Can) clear, bright amber brown colour with a medium tall white head; soda like carbonation; aroma of brown sugar, toasted grain; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish; nice and authentic

Light amber color. Flavor starts smooth, sweet caramel without being overly sweet. Wood and earthy malt flavor. Just enough floral and crisp bitter hops to balance without being overly bitter at the finish. Does leave a hop aftertaste.
