Pour a deep amber/brown color. Lightly hoppy and grainy aroma. Fairly sweet. Pruney sweet taste. A little bit of hoppiness.

Medium amber color, tan head. Aroma of malt with some green hops backing them up. Earthy and toasty up front fairly bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not bad.

Copper with a thin tan head. Faint hint of blueberries in the aroma. Crisp malt flavors up front and a quick earthy finish. Would be a decent session ale, but doesn’t really stand out.

Sampled draught at 4 Queens, Las Vegas
Auburn color, sticky head & lacing. Nose of rich malts: crystal and munich. Light floral hoppy presence. Tastes fruity with light hops & a tart finish. Easy drinking beer, better than what I’ve had around LV so far.

Clear metallic orange, rust colored. Musty and raw grain nose with some hops and some maple, flavor is like wet cardboard and grapefruits, watery. not recommended.
