On tap at the brewery, pours a murky, deep brown with some fluffy, off white head. Solid nose, nutty, toast, molasses, inviting coffee, a little caramel, a little mocha. Flavor has brown sugar and molasses, malt, toast, nutty coffee grounds, dark chocolate. Full, dry finish. Solid.

On tap at the brewery, pours a clear, caramel brown, with hardly any head. Looks like rootbeer. Smells like... ginger, some sugar too, not much beer happening. Tastes like ginger ale with a splash of cream soda. Watery finish. Miss.

Sampled on tap at the brewpub, pours a clear gold with some creamy, white head. Nose has what you expect, yeasty, mild cracker, mildly gristy, honey, a little vanilla happening. Flavor follows, lightly sweet, lightly yeasty, some lemon, some malt. Medium bodied finish. Decent enough.

Matt B. Hooking me up In his recent SC trip, poured from a 12 oz. bottle. The color is a near clear gold with some lasting head. Aroma is a mix of grain and light grassy type hint.
Lighter in body with a spritzy carbonation level giving a lively feel over my tongue. Flavor is a ceral grain base with some mild citrus hops that lingering slightly after the sip. Malt bill is decent and balance is pretty good the the citrus hops. As it warms it shows that light grassy note. Decent drink.

12 oz bottle thanks to my buddy Matt B. In his recent SC trip. The color is a clear Amber with quickly disappearing head leaving little in the glass. Aroma is toasted malt and traces of grain.
Lighter in body (borderline watery) with a lower carbonation level. Like most Amber ales the flavor just doesn’t have much going on. This one has a toasted grain base with caramel/ butterscotch hint. Bitterness is very weak without any hop flavor, just simply bitter. Nothing against this brew per say but it’s the style itself I find boring and completely uninteresting at this point.

On tap in the Palmetto tasting room, pours a clear dark orange with clumpy white head. Nose has orange, mild biscuit, yeast, some odd cinnamon notes. Sort of zippy in the mouth, orange, some soap, peppercorn. Astringent finish.
