Draft. Deep amber body with a frothy, off-white head. Leafy hop aroma with notes of toasted grain and a hint of caramel. The flavor is lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. This beer is one dimensional and that’s bitter. In fact, the bitterness overpowers everything. A hint of malts before the bitterness takes over. Maybe that’s good, because the hint of malts is grainy and unclean.

Sample at Kalamazoo Beer Exchange. This brew pours a clear dark orange color with a medium white head that diminishes to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops, malt and fruit. Medium body with a grassy hops character and notes of citrus and sweet malt. The finish is moderately bitter hops with a fruity aftertaste. Above average overall.

On tap at Sugar Maple. Pours a clear deep amber with a caramel hue and a creamy white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces thickly. Aroma has a good amount of citrus hops with backing grapefruit, bread and caramel. Flavor is surprisingly hoppy as well with grapefruit and citrus that mellow into a grain and caramel finish. Odd for a brown ale, but I don’t mind!

Draft at the source. Cloudy orange color. Aroma of lemon and flowers. Taste is bright citrus, lemon rind. Not overly bitter, which I like.
