Sampled at the brewpub, pours a clear copper amber with some lacing white head. Nose is very mild, some apple fruitiness, some lemon, yeast. Flavor is the same, yeasty, bready, some dried fall fruit, faint bathroom soap. Watery finish. Not my favorite.

On tap at the brewpub. Comes to the table a hazy medium golden brown color with a small white head that leaves lots of lace. Nice sweet caramel and toffee and brown bread with light earthy hop aroma. Rich malty dark sugar and brown bread with a solid shot of earthy hop and hints of light fruit. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet slick mouthfeel. This was the highlight of the night for me and from a style I usually don’t gravitate towards.
