Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a tan head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a strong licorice note that is backed by rye. Flavor similarly has the licorice note up front that mellows to let bread and rye notes through. The licorice seems out of place.

Shaker pint draft at the brewery taproom in North Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is lightly hazed copper with a smallish off white head. The aroma is cereal grains, dry grassy bitter hop, and a nice mineral character. The taste is a nice fresh blend of the cracker malt, the grassy bitterness and finishing with the mineral earthiness. The palate is medium bodied, a bit low on carbonation, and the dry mineral finish. Nice one.
