The brew is a clear light amber color with a thin and foamy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Earthy malt, caramel and hops in the nose. Medium body with flavors of caramel malt, honey and hops. The finish is soft with a grassy hops and malt aftertaste. Above average overall. kwoeltje (1333), Manchester, Missouri, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 30, 2008 This was nice for a change, very good and true to style. I would have chosen a bit of a different hop profile, but that’s just me. Citrusy lemon zest nose, buttery bready maltiness. Still very drinkable. topherh (943), Kearney, Missouri, USA

Hopefully, the Flat Branch folks can fill in the details here for commercial description, etc. Floral. Nice hops. Not exactly the hoppy beer I hoped for when I saw it on the menu tonight. Still, credit goes to Flat Branch for offering something new, as well as an IPA a bit hoppier than Katy Trail.
