12 fl oz bottle from Total Wine, Overland Park, KS. Copper in the glass, slightly cloudy, one finger pale beige head. Looks good. Toasted malt and caramel on the nose, fruitiness in the background. Taste starts on a more roasty malty side, caramel in the second row. Low apple with hints of sweetness. Below average carbonated. Pine and dry bitterness in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Shaker pint glass draft at Free State Brewing Company in Lawrence, Kansas. The pour is a clear light golden with a small splotchy head. The aroma is light smoke, cereal grain malt and a hint of floral. The taste is a great balance of the soft clean malt sweetness, floral and the smoke integrated in back. The palate is light bodied with active carbonation and smoke that lingers. Easy drinking, well done version of the style.

Shaker pint draft at Harbour Lights in Lawrence, Kansas. The pour is a clear amber, with a one inch white head that leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is floral, citrus, and caramel malt. The taste is a nice balance between the floral and citrus hops and the caramel soft sweet malt backbone. The bitterness carries the dry finish. The palate is medium bodied, active carbonation, and the dry bitter finish. Easy drinking West Coast IPA.
