Sampled from the tap at the Railyard location. Pours a clear amber with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has notes of sweet grains with a bit of grass and biscuit underlying. Flavor has a grass and bread combination with a touch of sweetness.

Golden-amber with no head. Earthy, mushroomy aroma. The taste is the same, with light caramel nuances. Good body. Mellow character - might translate well to cask on account of the EKG juiciness in the finish.
