Dark golden to light amber color. Caramel, light fruit and just a hint of citric hops aromas. I Keep trying to hind the components that make me wince when I smell an amber and I’m honing in on it with this brew. Something about the fruit, caramel and hops just does not work for me. I’m suddenly smelling a caramel apple with herbs on the outside. Lightly sweet citric start. LIght stomach acid at times. Sourdough and hints of caramel. I’m thinking Caribbean lager with a amber twist.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Amber with a thin white head. Has a biscuit aroma. Rich caramel flavor, but not much in the bitternes category. Surprisingly unlike a pale ale. Not bad, but no knee slapper either. I doubt I’d drink this again. Just too pedestrian.

pours darker orange. light white head that does not last. sweet caramel / malty mouthfeel. some citrusy overtones. watery aftertaste. maybe a lingering floral tast and aroma. nothing too impressive.

Fair but not great. Pretty nice amber color. Aromas are hops and some malt. Citrus flavors and watery texture. Not that good.
