On tap at the source. Comes to the table a lightly hazy medium golden color with a smallish off white head that leaves lots of lace on the way down. Brown sugar and brown bread make up the bulk of the aroma with a light earthy hop and light fruity ester providing balance. The flavor is sweet up front with a solid shot of sugary caramel sweetness. Light earthy hop and light fruit round this one out. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. Decent brew, I could drink it, but would choose something else first.

on tap-pours a patchy off white head that laces and copper/red color. Aroma is sweet tangerine/pink grapefruit/lemon. Taste is sweet tangerine/pink grapefruit/lemon, then pine/resin hops with a dry/grapefruit rind bitter (Amarillo, simcoe, galena) is more than some but there are a lot more hops. Mouth feel is grainy and slightly slick. Medium towards full body. Soft carbonation.
