Sample at the Palatine brewpub. This beer is a clear copper color with a compact white head that diminishes slowly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, sweet fruit and a bit of spice. Medium, clean body with a sweet caramel malt flavor underscored by wheat and hops. The finish is malty with a lingering sweetness left over. Slightly above average overall.

Draft at Downers Grove, English pint glass. Slight letdown after the Patriot’s Pride. Dark amber color, but clear, like the Okto’s we all like. Same scrum of light foam as with most Emmett’s brews. Munich malt smell with yeasty overtones. Taste starts out with too much banana-y weizen esters. Thankfully, that impression recedes. It seems to have lagered too warm and lost its chance to finish. Still it does improve further down, and I can get a nice taste of Vienna malts and ticklish spicy hops.
