22oz bottle pours a mostly transparent, deep, ruby, copper amber with a very frothy, creamy, soft white head. Looks awesome. Nose is fairly mild, lightly floral, crisp maltiness, some fall fruits. Flavor is sweet, malty, the kind of amber malts in a good Marzen that make you think of dried leaves. Some mild, well balanced, earthy bitterness too. Nothing bracing, just enough to cut the sweetness and round things out. Medium bodied, dry finish. While no one is going to jump out of their chair for this and while it may not be highly sought after, but you can tell it is exceptionally crafted. Easy to drink with good flavor.
