Pours clear deep gold with sort of tan head. The aroma is light with mostly sweet malts and a hint of roasty malts behind that. It definitely has a lager-ish taste with fresh crisp Munich maltiness that starts to lean towards roasty malts and then some noble spice bordering on floral hops. This combination of flavors hang around and dwindle into the finish.

Pours clear copper with healthy tan head. It has a lightly roasted lightly sweet malt aroma that is so light it is tough to pick up any other aromatic cues. The taste is roasty and mildly malt sweet along with faint citrus and pine hops. It then blends into faint grainy Munich like malts and breadiness. Into the finish I get medium roasted maltiness and a hint of caramel sweetness leaving a nice reminder of the flavor profile. Very sessionable.

Pours up a nice clear deep amber, certainly brownish, with a tan to off white head suspending a brown hue in places and some cobweb lacing. Good looking beer. I get almost no aroma on this beer. Might be just a faint roasted maltiness but it’s so light that might just be what I was expecting to smell rather than what I actually get. The taste is roasty maltiness and not really any malt astringency I associate with a brown ale. Pretty tasty and mild in flavor carrying some rich smooth medium to moderately roasted malts. Hey, a faint malt astringency does show up about midway giving the beer that classic brown ale feel. This is an even tasting light weight sessionable brown ale.

Draft. Amber beer with a big whitish head. Floral/citrus hop aroma. Nice hop flavor (again citrus/floral). A little malt backing. Easy to drink.

Draft. Reddish color with a big off-white head. Citrus hop aroma with some malt. Balanced hoppy/malty flavor but a somewhat strange aftertaste - not unpleasant, just strange and I can’t put any words to it. Easy to drink if you don’t get hung up on the strangeness.
