On tap at Hogs Apothecary. It pours a nice deep golden amber color with a creamy light khaki head. The aroma is awesome. Rich bready toasted malt with strong melanoidens reminiscent of light cherry and malt syrup. The flavor is the same. Malty, bready and toasted. A little cherry syrup. Rich, but just medium bodied. It finishes strongly bitter. Really great stuff, just a bit too bitter.

Draught @ Underbelly, San Diego. Aroma is sweet with buttery malt and fruity hops. Flavour has grassy hops, fruits, some herbal bitterness and mild fruits. Rather fruity for a pale lager.
