Funk, rice, and honey nose, some fusel alcohol. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Much drier flavor of dandelion, with a funky undercurrent. Brief appearance of honey. Mouthfeel is thin. Nice funk, with some subtle nuances. It’s a bit milquetoast when chilled, but becomes more enjoyable closer to ambient temperature.

Molasses, pie crust, and ginger aroma, light cinnamon notes underneath. Cola brown headless. Burned pie crust dominated flavor, Ginger at midpalate. Significant amounts of char. Alcohol not noticeable. Wanting in sweetness and less char.

The taste is bread, caramel, butter, plum, peach and a hoppy finish. Medium bodied. Nice beer. It should appeal to many, a good one to choose for their flagship.
