Draught at the brewpub. Weak lemon aroma, probably from the lemon slice that was on the glass rim. Cloudy orange colour. The flavour is a little sweet with some mango fruitiness. Low bitterness. Slightly strange, but works all right.

Union Square sampler: Pours a very pale gold with a white head. Aroma of sweet grains, with some malts. Tastes exactly like the style prescribes. Very grainy, with minimal hops bite. Standard, but would be very sessionable as well. Not great, not exciting, and not the best I’ve had in the style, but for what I saw at heartland, this was one of the more honest attempts.

Union Square, Pours a darkish amber color with a minimal quickly dissipating head. I would love to write a lot about this beer, but alas it is as unremarkable as it gets. An amber ale manifesting all the latent mediocrity of the style. Well-balanced all that. Malty taste and aroma. Minimal hops, and those annoying sweet notes. Not bad, but I feel like I had this before.
