Growler... O-Town Throwdown Part Tres ... Clear amber ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, white head. The earthy, musty nose is a smidge beefy with spicy hops. Well-balanced flavor. Moderate sweetness, moderate bitterness and light acidity. Light to medium-bodied and a bit coarse with ticklish carbonation. Moderately bitter, bone-dry finish. Thanks to karzar5 for this beer!

Growler, courtesy hopscotch. Pours a crystal clear orange amber body. A wispy film crowns the top and leaves behind minimal, spotty lacing. The aroma showed some strange components. Sweet caramel was present as expected, but so were boiled carrots and peas! Weird. Mild floral hops make an appearance. The flavor is again based on caramel, this time more of the toasted variety. Dry grains and mild hops come through on the back end, accompanied by some vegetal spiciness. Smooth and medium bodied, with an odd, lingering finish. This one is pretty strange.

Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a crystal clear syrupy amber color, with pretty much no head. Kind of a musty malt aroma, with the faint hops coming in the background. The flavor was kind of musty as well, with no real definition to it. Kind of dead tasting, not lively at all. The hops didnt really have much of a presence and it just seemed confused. Drinkable, and not offensive, but disappointing.

Pours a clear yellowish with a white head. Has nice balance of hops and malts. Not to overpowering with the hops. Finishes light and dry.
