tennisjoel (2219) - Rochester, Minnesota, USA - AUG 22, 2022UPDATED: AUG 22, 2022 12 oz bottle rating. Clear red brown body with a soapy thin white head. Aroma of caramel toffee, bread, apple, and berries. Kind of like an amber ale. Malt forward with a light hop presence. Finishes slightly dry. A well crafted beer and nice change from the hop bombs I tend to gravitate towards.

Light mouthfeel includes a modest hop flavor which tries to coordinate with the sweet as the alcohol, well hidden, slowly comes through. Medium to light finish.
