Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a hazy orange-brown color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head. Sly lacing.
The aroma had some caramel and toffee malts and some raisin/dark fruitiness.
The flavor copied the aroma decently with a mostly sweet aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sesionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, decent brown ale that I could do again.

Sampled from a 122 oz can this beer poured a cloudy orange-brown color with a medium sized creamy orange-tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy toasted caramel, raisin and a sour off undertone. The flavor was tangy and malty with toffee, malt syrup, a faint vegetal presence, faint dark fruits and a sour off presence. Medium finish. Medium body. Uninspired.

From a can, much darker than expected, was thinking a pale lager kinda thing but this is darker than yuengy. Big rocky head too. Taste is certainly ale like, again was expecting a lager tasting thing but this is on par with many craft brws, lacks any macro attributes. Good co2 and it has enough personality without being rude. yes, ther is this medium astringent hop or medicinal thing in there but for the most part a very good beery experience. Can’t wait to taste the lager.
