Bottle from Binny’s Beverage Depot in Plainfield, Illinois: This poured a golden amber body with a respectable head. It had an aroma of sugary caramel with some light floral scents. The malt in the flavor isn’t as sweet as the nose and is well balanced by an earthy, floral bitterness. Not bad.

Dark amber to copper in color. Moderate tight bubbled off-white head. Caramel and lightly toasted malt along with hints of floral hops and slice of fruit in the aroma. Light sweet malt start. A touch of toasted malt and some herbal hops in the middle. A drier finish and just a light return of malt in the linger.

Bottle from a small upscale liquor store. Poured clear amber with an ok beige head. Aromas of malt and extremely mild citrus. Near medium body with fizzy carbonation. Flavor of caramel and very light citrus. It is dry. It finishes a tad astringent. Rather refreshing. And some definite bitter is coming out.
