Draft at Goldfinger. Dark gold or light amber beer with a creamy white head. Nose is malty, more like an amber or Vienna beer, with slightly fruity side nose. Initial taste is substantial, mainly malt. Hop is still a slight burn of noble bitterness. Hop power is growing father down the glass, and now I catch some fruit. More of an apricot than the claimed peaches, but close enough. In fact, more fruit on the next dive into the glass. Could be like an India Pale Lager. Thick malts, though, keep asserting themselves, with a lot of toast and a little caramel.
