Bottle. Cloudy golden body. Fizzy white head, rapidly diminishing. Toasted grain dominates the aroma. Hint of clove and banana but you have to try hard to detect it. Flavor is light to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes light to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Where is the tartness? Grainy taste. Just a hint of clove. Meh.

Tasted from bottle at DLD in April. Lightish brown color, but that color is solid. A thin layer of foam. Smell is a little sweet, not far off from a Bigfoot. Oh, my! A lot of stuff going on in the tongue, Makes for an excellent barleywine. Just a little bit of hop layer at the start. Then pretty sweet malts,but with plenty of malt character. Noticeably alcoholic. But with a light soda texture. A little oak in the finish.

12 oz can courtesy of beastifan2k. Pour is a clear golden, with some visible carbonation bubbles and a clean white one inch head. Aroma is toasty dry malt grain, with a very light sweetness. Clean and fresh nose. Taste is the straight forward toasty malt of the nose, dry, crisp and clean. There is a nice mineral to the finish. Palate is thin to medium bodied, coats the mouth a bit before it dries out with the mineral in the finish. Nice simple clean Pils, thanks Eugene. I dig the simplicity of the green can. Nice design.

Hazy copper ale - impressive lace - nose provides a rich maltiness not typically associated with the style, but is quite welcome - earthy american hops hide underneath - earthy, woody hops up front in the flavor, but this is followed by a smooth, rich malt profile and a light estery character - an interesting take, and quite a tasty one at that.
