Its got a nice bitter backbone, but it is also fairly watery. This is a beer to gulp, it isn’t one that you will savor. Very well suited for bar food, and Calhouns serves up some of the finest to go with it. chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England

Rather restrained aroma, but that could have been down to the serving temperature, which was a touch on the cold side. Lots of hop presence, but its more bitter than aromatic. A bit low on malt character, which perhaps means the balance is not quite spot on. Still an enjoyable and interesting drop. Kinz (2221), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA

Thanks to Rob for the growler of this at the race! Coppery amber with a decent, small tan head that slowly faded. Aroma was slight pine hops and a bit of caramel malts. Flavor was biscuit and caramel, with a good, balanced hop bitterness, mostly pine with a hint of grapefruit. Enjoyable, drinkable stuff.
