Tap. Sour malt and hop aroma. Pours light nut brown with a white head; good lacing. Sour malt flavor with a faint hop finish. Medium bodied and crisp palate.

Draught. Clear copper color with thin off white head. Spicy, metallic hop nose and flavor. Moderately carbonated, crisp, and a bit bitter. Decent beer, true to style.

Brownish red, nice white head. Hardly any aroma. Seems to have a cola-ish quality in body and flavor; its just a little too carbonated. Kind of a a candy sweet flavor but finishes drier.

Draught. Pours a clear, medium-copper color with a white head that leaves reasonable lacing. The aroma is faint hops and seems a bit astringent. The palate is a bit fizzy, but has a comfortable density. I taste hops first, then the malt works its way into the finish. Also, as the beer warmed to room temperature, it got a bit cardboard-y.

D-raft at the UJ’s. Pours a solid amber red which is seen through easily. The aroma is delicate of pear and leaves with a hint of caramel type sweetness. As I was expecting, this is quite light on the palate and crisp. It’s got a leafy, caramel-infused taste with hints of corn on the cob in the finish and just a medium level of bitterness. Fair enough.

This is quaffable, not really anything special. Some light caramel sweetness, just a touch of roastiness with a hint of bitterness in the finish.
