Draft at the brewery. Poured a medium dark brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light subtle roasted malts, very mild dark fruits. Flavor is sweet, dried dark fruits. pretty tasty actually. Almost tastes like a mild. like the second run of the malts, which might be the case, but I didn’t ask while there. Easy drinking.

/32oz growler I picked up at the brewery pours a clear amber with a ring of creamy head. Nose has... well, not a whole lot; some lemon, some orange, a little caramel, some baked apple maybe? Flavor has some toffee sweetness, orange, lemon, pine, mild soap and... not much else. Lightly resinous finish. This needs to be amped up on every level.

32oz growler from the brewery pours a crystal clear gold with some tight, creamy, white head. Nose has a lot of stone fruit, peaches, nectarine, apricot, perfume, candy, mild spice. Flavor is dripping with juicy stone fruit, peaches and nectarines, candy, orange marmalade, some pear, white grape too. Fruity, lightly boozy but surprisingly drinkable finish.
