12oz stubby from Halftime. Murky, dark amber pour, thin off-white foamy head. Light malty aroma, brown bread. Taste is pure malts, gentle, smooth like a UK pale. This is a simple, straightforward ale, light and tasty. If I was in the distro area for this, it would become my lawnmower beer. Surprised at the low scores here.

Draught @ Ginger Man (10/25/19). Hazy dark amber with large creamy light beige head, very faint doughy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter light caramel taste, dusty mouthfeel, thin body, long finish. Not very exciting.
