Bottle, thanks to soonerchamps. Hazy straw colored pour with a thin white head. Quite a bit of sticky lacing. Aroma is grassy, herbal, and bready; no surprises. Taste is crisp and refreshing with more florals and less herbals. Solid bready malt backbone. Good.

Bottle: Pours a muddy caramel orange color with a small beige head. Faint aroma is seemingly faded florals... taste is rather mild too. Ever so slight floral bitters and modest citrus. Light bready malt. The theme here is mild...

Bottle: Orange color with lots of haze, small sandy head. Nose is floral and lightly citrus filled. There is more malt and bready/earthy notes than expected. Not much hops presence, but some florals and piney bits come through. Soft comes to mind, sort of bland if you’re a hophead.

Pours a darkened orange color, glowy at the edges. Quite hazy. Small white-ish head. Not much lacing. The aroma is a bit weaker than I’d like. It’s pretty much just citrus/pine hops with some biscuity malt. Grapefruit rind, pine needles, a little grass. The taste is pretty dry. There’s some toasty malt character, but it’s mostly marked a somewhat bland hop bitterness. That’s not to say it’s a bad beer. It’s just well-worn territory and not exciting. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Normal carbonation. There’s some body to the beer. I quite liked McNellie’s Pub Ale, so this beer is a bit disappointing. Still, it’s easy to drink and refreshing.

Pours a darkened amber color, a nice, heavy wood tone. Quite cloudy. I can just see the shadows of my fingers through the full glass. The head is cream-colored and creamy. It’s a medium-thick blanket of foam that sticks on top of the beer for a good long time. Solid lacing. A doughy, rich malt flavor comes out as the strongest note in the aroma. There’s also a good dose of caramel and some light, earthy hops. The hops make a stronger showing in the taste with a gentle bitterness and a mix of floral, earthy and grassy flavors with a touch of citrus peel. The beer is drier than expected, which is a pleasant surprise. It has a clean, rich malt character that steps aside to let the hops balance things out. Very easy to drink. Relatively low carbonation. Smooth, creamy feel. It manages to hit a rather British-y balance, which is generally hard to find among American takes on British ales. Good stuff.

Bottle: Dark brown body, just a little lighter in color than a lightly colored porter, with a finger of creamy brown head. Lots of sticky lacing. Aroma is sweet and inviting; citrus, pine, light roast, and cocoa. Really what I love about this style... leads to a nice flavor that hits a nice balance of sweetness, roast, and hops. The caramel and pine work together well. A very drinkable ale that really hits the mark on the style. Thanks soonerchamps!

On tap at McNellie’s OKC. Pours a clear deep red with a tan head that lasts throughout the beer and laces nicely. Aroma has a nice hop note with a bit of pine and crisp grass backed by a bread note. Flavor has a surprisingly hoppy note with crisp grass throughout supported by a nice light bread note.

Bottle: Muddy caramel color with a finger of creamy khaki colored head. Nose is citrus and caramel, but a little stale. Drinks a little stale too. Citrus and florals seem faded and lightly bready malt. Me thinks this bottle be a bit past it’s prime...

On tap at Tapwerks. Pours a clear deep red with a touch of chestnut and a creamy brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earthy bread and dark grains with just a bit of roast. Flavor is similar with light roasted malts and dark grains with a touch of earthiness.
