Draught at Horniblows Tavern. Pours amber with a medium white head, lacing, little haze. Smells great, has a nice balanced hoppy aroma with a bit of caramel, maltiness. Flavor is hoppy, balanced well with malts. Excellent beer.

Growler shared by cbkschubert. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 1/2" off white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma of light malts, light hops, and earthy dirt. Flavor of sweet malt and earthiness. Overall an easy drinking beer with no lingering aftertastes.

Growler via trade with ucusty - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Aroma is light malt and herbal hops. Flavor is slightly sweetened malt and hops. Fairly balanced. Medium body. The other people I shared the growler with seem to like it. I think it’s a good middle of the road beer. Thanks David.

Pour is light amber to gold. Fruity pleasantly bitter hop flavor balanced with toasted malt. The hops give the beer a refreshing quality that matches well with the somewhat rich malt. An excellent effort!
