Commercial Description:
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

An easy drinking amber with good malt and hop notes, subtle though they may be. Clear amber with a thin head. Aroma is moderately sweet with notes of caramel, grain and some citrus. OK balance between bitter and sweet in the flavor.

Pours with a thick orange body that looks almost frosty throughout. Hues of gold and amber shade the body making it appear almost solid. With a thick, though quickly settling, creamy white head nestled on top this beer look phenomenal. This is photo grade beer right here! Aroma is powerful and very malty. Caramel malt is present in the nose as is a fruity blast of malt goodness and floral hop notes. Caramel malt makes a splash as soon as this beer hits the palate. It’s a thick beer with a very satisfying mouthfeel. Malt dominates the tongue while hints of alcohol and citrus lead to a memorable bitter floral finish. Outstanding unique flavor. Good stuff!

AKA Big Porch Ale, damn I thought that tasted familiar. This one is well balanced, and quite complex for the style. Well carbonated, and with a nice hoppy finish. Very good overall.
