Draft in Western MA. Lifeless pour. Amber light haze. Nose is malt and caramel. Tatses of caramel, apricot, honey, malty. Medium bodied.

Pours a nice hazy amber from a can. Light fruity aroma and flavor, good beer.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is hazy, dark orange/red/brown with nice sparkle, 1/2-finger width creamy, beige head with poor retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is caramel, brown sugar, pumpernickel bread. Taste is sweet as aroma with late fruit and light earth. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with lightly dry, bitter component at the very end. Overall, nice malty flavors (so many IPA's lately, I'd kind of forgotten what these taste like). Not too complex, but strong flavors and some balance present.

$5.75 bomber from Gag Jr's Liquor Shop in New Haven. Pours crystal clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is sweet: caramel (sweet, like I just said), fruit, light sweat, honey, light citrus. Flavor is toasted caramel, light browning leaves, a hint of citrus, floral hops, light dark fruit. Pretty tasty!
