Bottle. The beer has a lot of peach in it. Wheat peach taste and wheat peach aroma. Peach doesn't make good beer.

Bottle. I had this one after having a really bad pale ale and this one was much, much better. Still, not the best. Good beer though.

Taster at Das Stahl Bierhouse in Huntsville. Pours brown, with a fair, frothy, beige head. The aroma is apple cider, coriander, caramel, and oak. Sweet and malty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. A bit yeasty. Medium body, chalky, and syrupy. Pretty solid.
