On tap at the source. Pours a lightly opaque dark gold with hints of brick red with a tightly bubbled white head that slowly recedes. Kind of a style defying brew right here. Rich bready toasty light caramel maltiness with an old school earthy pine hops to counter. Not bad.

Draft at the source. I wasn't sure what style to add this as, even after talking to the brewer, who said that it doesn't really meet any style criteria, though it's brewed as an ale not a lager. A mash-up of early (1980s) US craft beer styles. I remember back in that ancient historic period that brewpubs would usually have three or so beers - a dark beer, a light beer, and a wheat beer, without commenting on what style any of them were. So I figured Traditional Ale would work, as an homage to that period.

Anyway, clear bright amber color, light tan head with lacey lacing. Taste starts sweet then full bodied and light peppery bitterness. Nostalgic.
