Bronze, and a fairly earthy nose. Earthy taste, quite bitter but without brightness. Still, a decent brew, if really standard for the type.

Ok

A pretty standard pale ale. Lightly citrus and floral with a bit of sweetness in the malty backbone. Refreshing and easy going pale ale. Good flavor without being over the top.

12 oz bottle. Aroma consists of honey, caramel malt bordering on cloying; vaguely vomity. Pours cloudy golden with a collapsing white head. Taste is mildly sweet with flavors of honey, light spicy rye. Reminds me of a flavored macro lager in its blandness. Not too impressed, but it’s drinkable. A side note here: I don’t think this is brewed with raspberries like it says in the description here. The bottle makes no mention of it, there’s no pink hue, no flavors of raspberry whatsoever. Maybe an earlier incarnation of this beer was brewed with raspberries?
