Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Keg taster pour at Craft Brew Race, Worcester. Appearance is light brown with trace sparkle, thin ring of off-white head. Aroma is earthy European hops, and caramel, brown bread malt. Taste is caramel, nut--not too dissimilar from their ESO, except the oak. Palate is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent strength. Not terribly complex and on the brown ale side of APA but decent enough.
