Pours a nice amber with a fairly thin head. Malt and some light hops in the aroma. Decent flavor, but nothing special. This is, however, one of the best beers I’ve had from this brewery.

Very simple and nothing offensive. Aroma of caramel malts and very faint hops. Flavor has a very light roast and is balanced. .

Floral, citrus, grain, caramel malt, and sour fruit aroma. Clear amber, frothy with off-white head. Floral, lemon, chocolate, mild caramel, and roast flavours. Balanced with mild bitter finish.

Bottled. Dark copper pour with skunky aroma. Hints of Caramel malt that ended with a metallic taste. Thin in body and very ordinary.

Bottle: The aroma consists of faint caramel, toastiness, and very faint floral and earthy hops. It pours a transparent amber with a moderate and somewhat fizzy off white head that quickly fades to a very thin film. The flavor starts with light-moderate caramel and a hint of fruitiness. The finish is lightly toasty/roasty with some faint herbal/floral hops. Light bodied with some lively carbonation that is somewhat soft. There’s nothing offensive here, so I guess you could call it an average lawnmower beer.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is very light and slightly nutty with some hints of sweet malts. Flavor is sweet at the beginning with a dry and bitter malt middle and a slightly bitter finish. Finishes clean and dry.

[bottle] Dried fruit and nut aroma with some unsavory caraway. Clear, brownish straw with only a slight ring of white. Sweet malt with moderate bitterness and an overwhelming caraway or some other spice flavour that I do not like in beer. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, rancid caraway finish. Maybe the hops are off?
