poured a very thin looking amber hue with hardly any head. Aroma was slightly sour and moderetly infused with caramel malts. Flavor was a little more sour then the aroma indicated, but malt flavors seemed nice. Some earth notes balanced out buy sweet caramel notes. A thin body.

Pours amber with a thin off white head. Smells nutty and roasty with some underlying malt notes. Tastes of earthy hops, nuts, malt, and some citrus. Watery on the finish.
