Bottle Like others, I got this with the hopes of a brewer with very average oferings in general, producing something special that looks as though it might aspire to heights above that which I am accustomed to for GT. Pours a clear mahogany with a modest short lived off white. Aroma is a malty sweet, woody, brown sugar. Very light on the hoppiness. Flavor is lots of malty brown sugar, nutty almost syrupy. Quite smoothand soft I thought, with vbery fine carbonation. Again harly any hops here. Finish is smooth and soft with a sweet woody aftertaste. Drinkable...yes Drastically changing my opinion of GT, one of the very few major producers in my area...? Alas. No

I bought this because I was hoping the Cellar Reserve line would start to kick things up a few notches but no. It pours beautifully but that’s the high point of this brew. I didn’t taste the complexity that’s mentioned on the added label..in fact, I didn’t taste much of anything.
Maybe it *is* green and needs aging. I’ll try that next.
