Bottle at International Great Beer Expo (Meadowlands). Light amber color, small white foamy head, high carbonation, very faint hops aroma, yeasty taste, abrupt finish. Not an impressive beer.

355 ml bottle. Clear reddish amber body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is mainly malty with some caramel, pine and citric fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, bread, some citric fruit and balanced bitterness. Medium body and moderate aftertaste with sweet malt. Mainly a malt driven beer, somehow balanced, but pretty straight forward and not very exciting.

Bottle, 12oz. A creamy, beige head forms over a clear, dark golden body. Malty, lightly citrusy, piney aroma. Some nuttyness, but rather boring. The flavor has a plesant bitterness, but else it’s quite boring. Citrusy, grassy hops. Medium to full body, quite dry, with a nice carbonation level. Bitterness, grass and some fruityness in the finish. A pretty boring one, but not flawed in any way. 131231
