Draft at the source. Poured a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was juicy tropical hops. Flavor follows through nicely. Chewy hops, light malts, a nice change from so many malt heavy, overly roasted IBAs.

Draft at Clyde’s Mark Center poured into a Forge snifter/tulip. Murky caramel brown delivered to the table with no head. Aromas of stone fruit, honey, caramel, spices, yeast, banana candy. Tastes of stone fruit, malt, caramel, yeast, banana, herbs, very light rye. Medium body with a dry finish. Solid, could use more rye.
