Nitro can. Thick pouring beer. Very smooth. Nice malty flavors. A decent session beer if you will.

This beer has an amber color and a very dry palate with a bitter dry aftertaste. This was not one of my favorites

Nitro tap. Pour is clear brown with a large thick, nitro head. Aroma is light malt, light hop and faint citrus. Flavor is nicely malty, faint bubblegum, light pepper, and a faint hop finish. Better than expected, had more character that I thought it would be.

bottle @ home. Pours an amber beer with a good head. Beer looks nice with a normal aroma. Taste is great. Really enjoyed this beer. Hints of caramel. Delicious beer. Deserves a higher rating on ratebeer.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. Aroma was full of grainy malts with a slight hop undertone. Flavor was similar to the aroma.

Not a whole lot of hoparoma. Some hopbitternes. Skunkiness due to clear glas bottle.
