Clear sparkling orange, thin creamy white head. Butterscotch floral aromas warm to a dry yeasty caramel tone. Dried fruity rye flavors balance on notes of sweet caramel grains. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish. It’s decent, but I won’t be returning...

Bottle - Amber colored beer with white head. Caramel malty aroma. The flavor is quite creamy with rye and malt flavor. It reminds me of a British bitter.

Bottle. Amber pour. Aroma is fruity, earthy with light caramel, rye and sweet malts. Taste is malty, semi-sweet, mild sourness/tartness, slightly hoppy, more earthiness and some soft grains. Rye is there but not overbearing. Body is medium with a creamy carbonation. Ends with more caramel, toasted and semi-sweet malts, soft earth and fruit and rye grains. The tartness fades here as well. Good stuff!

Draft in Lancaster. Poured amberish with a medium sized beige head. Aroma was a little earthy, caramel malts, and bready. Tastes of rye bread, earthy, caramel malts and little to no hop character. eh.

Wasn’t too impressed with this. It did have a nice darker color for a summer beer but it had almost a sour taste to it. Lancaster Brewing company is really hit or miss.
