Since when is being Ornery a good thing? When I think ornery, I think of the smart-ass kids you find on network TV sitcoms. I hate those kids. Luckily I will not hold the adjective against this beer. Pours a dark orangish-brown with a medium thin bone white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and maple. Medium-bodied and kind of syrupy, with flavors of caramel, malt, honey and hops. More hops would have helped this beer, as it almost OD's on the sweet/syrupy aspect. The finish is sticky too. Another forgettable beer from Tommyknocker.
