Draft at Churchkey. Poured a hazy orange color, small white head. Aroma was sweet, malty. Flavor was way too sweet - it was a bit like brown sugar/syrup. Was drinkable, but not nearly as enjoyable as I had hoped.

Courtesy of fata2683. The growler pours out clear deep gold with thin bright white head. The aroma has some spicy yeastiness, sugary sweet malts, a bit of grainy malts and a touch of sweet apple. The taste is very similar with tasty grainy malts and a sense of corn kernels mixing with sweet sugary malts and spicy yeast notes. It has a pretty thin body. Thanks Keith for the DC rate.
