12oz bottle pours with a clear gold body that supports a booming billowing off white head. Uh oh. Not a good start to this rate. The aroma offers up lemon and lime tartness as well as sweeter citrus and malty notes. It doesn’t taste as messed up as it looks. I get bitter grapefruit and lemon citrus flowing quickly into malt sweetened tangelo. Amid the bitter citrus it gets a tad juicy even just as the pale ale almost biscuit maltiness bubbles to the surface. This is pretty nice even in poor shape as this is.

Location: Draft at the Brewpub, 3/3/14
Aroma: The nose is roasted malts with a bit of coffee and chocolate
Appearance: It pours a brown color with fairly thick light brown head on it
Flavor: The taste is much the same, pretty much just a roasted malt flavor profile
Palate: The body is medium, it has a somewhat thin feel, a soft carbonation, a dry, roasty finish
Overall Impression: Again, this was another Oak Creek beer that was just fun but nothing exciting. It has a solid roasted malt flavor. No major flaws or anything to call out. Just another decent beer.

Aroma: The aroma is nutty and malty, nothing much beyond that, but on-style
Appearance: It pours a nice chestnut color with a beige head and some strong lace
Flavor: The flavor is nutty and malty as well, with a late lightly bitter hop component for balance
Palate: This one has a soft mouthfeel with a light-medium body and a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: Not a bad nut brown at all. Simple and on-style, with just enough of a hop presence to keep it from being completely one-dimensional.

Aroma: The aroma is kind of dull, some caramel notes, bread, and not much else
Appearance: It pours an amber color, mostly clear, with an off-white head
Flavor: The flavor is much the same: a little malty and kind of dull, not much hop presence
Palate: The body is light and clean, fairly smooth, soft, and with a shorter finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a fairly unexciting one. It wasn't an example of the style that I thought was particularly good. It is just kind of a dull beer.
