Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a hazy pale yellow color with a medium thin white head that diminishes steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Light body with flavors of sweet fruit, yeast and spices. The finish is yeast up front with a coriander and other sweet spices aftertaste. Not bad overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a medium khaki head that recedes steadily. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Roasted coffee and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, coffee and hops. The finish is roasty with a bittersweet chocolate and coffee aftertaste. Proof that a flavorful session Stout can exist. Good overall.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear brownish color with a medium tan head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Earthy malt and chocolate in the nose, plus a bit of fruit. Light and smooth body with a nice chocolate malt character along with notes of toasted bread, caramel and hops. The finish is sweet and malty with a lingering roast aftertaste. Above average session ale all around.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured dark brown with a brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma was full of roasted malts with some coffee and a slight hop bitterness. Flavor was similar with coffee mellowing to more of a roasted finish combined with a slight pine bitterness. Nice and smooth texture.

Pour is a murky tan with a large white head. Aroma is very fruity with some yeast and hops. Flavor starts out with very spicy hops and follows with a bit of lemon grass. Finish is a bit dry and thin. The beer is decent and has plenty to offer just nothing over the top.

Of the two beers I had at Revolution, this one was the best. For a blonde ale this is rather hoppy and very crisp. Perfect for the hot summer day on which I imbibed. Would definitely drink again.

I had this on tap at Revolution. My good friend described this as a watered down porter. I agreed that for a porter it was relatively more watered than other porters, but I didn’t think it was \"watered down\". He continued to make fun of me for that statement for the next 10 min. As for this beer, I thought it was pretty good...definite chocolate and lactose notes, good balance, relatively creamy.

Sampled at Revolution. Poured near black with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma sweet dark grains with bitter dark chocolate and just a hint of dark fruit. Flavor was similar with sweet dark grains in the start, dark chocolate towards the finish with just a bit of underlying dark fruit.
