Pours like copper. The sour mash is definitely noticeable. Good strength at a good price. If you can find it give it a try.

Pours a clear copper colour with a medium sized white off white head. Aroma is a little nutty, with strong malt aroma as well. Flavor is semi-sweet with a full mouthfeel. Decent, but nothing incredible.

Clear 12oz bottle. Poured a medium golden color with a small sized head. Aromas of wet grass, earthy, and vegatables. Tastes of caramel, lightly bready, and a trace of brown sugar.

Apple cider with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, toffee and toasted malt. Flavors include fruit, toffee, toasted malt and nuts. A shade astringent and the flavors are a bit weak but a lot better than expected considering the packaging it came in.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper-gold with a white head that quickly recedes to a thin film that leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is pretty subdued - metallic malts, maybe a little vegetables. Some sweet sugary malts come out as it warms.

The flavor is sweet malts with some sugary candy with a bit of bitterness to finish. Sour mash comes out some as it warms. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.

Overall, a small step above macros - nothing too exciting.
