Slightly hazy copper coloured body with a very thin, half centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of caramel, malt, toffee, light earth, grass and a bit more malt - not much hops at all noticeable in this. Medium-bodied; Definite toffee and malt flavours up front with not much else aside from some light raisins and a touch of apricots or peaches - no hops, no depth, no complexity - just caramel and toffee malt and that’s it. Aftertaste is quite bitter with only a faint touch of metal and funk to couple with the malt. Overall, a pretty poor offering, especially for the style - this one isn’t worth trying, even if you get it for cheap, just because there are far better options and even if you’ve had them before, this isn’t worth the effort for a ’new rating’. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 02-August-2015 for US$2,34 sampled at home in Washington on 02-September-2015.
