Hazy deep copper coloured body with a thick, foamy white head, about six centimetres tall at first with a lot of extra carbonation and a nice hazy glow of copper, but the head fades fast. Aroma of yeast, alcohol, light malts, earth, some subdued sugars and very little else, aside from the yeast. Medium-bodied; Strong wheat and pungent flavour from the grain with a little bitterness from yeast,earth and alcohol along with some deep bitterness and no real hop notes at all in here. Aftertaste shows some yeast, wheat along with alcohol and very little in terms of real complexity or deep flavours. Overall, a pretty mild offering with a lot of carbonation, but aside from that, fairly little else and only a touch of earth and yeast with sugars on the side. Not worth trying at all, even somehow if you love Amber Ales and you are somehow looking at Ratings or checking this site in general. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Wine, Cheese & More in Chincoteague, Virginia on 28-May-2017 for US$1,89 sampled at home in Washington on 17-December-2017.

Draft: Extremely buttery and bad sour smell. Clear copper, medium yellow head. Buttered popcorn flavoor, lesser vinegar notes. Pretty bad.
