Draft at The Bachelor Farmer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pour is clear golden with a well formed one inch white head. The aroma is clean Pilsener cereal grain and a soft citrus lemon. Clean fresh nose. The taste is a nice balance between the cereal cracker grain and the fresh clean citrus hops. The palate is lighter bodied, active carbonation and a clean dry mineral finish. Solid, great with tomato soup starter.

At Great Taste, 2015. It was in the Real Ale tent. cloudy brown color. Lightly carbonated. some pepper, processed grain; some wheat but I don’t think there is any of that. Dry malt flavor with earth. There is some yeast here with a flavor that makes me believe this beer would go sour in a hurry, and probably not in a good way. As it is, I liked it. Low carbonation, session-able, and real ale, which is hard to find.

Tap at the brewery. Black, lacing head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Very heavy, dark roast in thee flavor, burnt grain and coffee. Palate is on the thick side. I am not sure what i think of this very heavy roast that makes the beer bitter.
