Staying pretty consistent with the rest of the NWB beer, again a maybe not so typical colour with the style- clear amber with a little noticeable head that dissipates almost immediately. Some corn and a think a little bit of clover perhaps. They probably harvested it out back behind the place. Weak all around. I feel bad saying it but all of these were embarassing beers.

Tap at the brewery. Light brown with a white head. A little sweet with a mild hop finish, not a big fan, but nothing was off.

Appearance: Pours a light, clear brownish-amber body with a thin, white head. Smell: Light, toasted caramel in the nose along with a displeasing, worrisome amount of butter. Ugh. Taste: More of that thin, toasted caramel character with a hint of grains slathered in freshly-churned butter. Finishes dry and buttery. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Decidedly slick mouthfeel. Drinkability: One of the most aptly names beers I’ve ever come across. Bonus points for honesty!

Mode: Bottle
Source: Tasting, Cellar Party

clear amber, scant frothy head, sweet aroma with light caramel malt and rich buttery character, sweet butter and caramel flavor, light balancing bitterness, almost like a buttery caramel candy but not in a good way

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from the brewpub. Pours a clear drown amber brew with a fast dissolving white head. Dissolves to a fine film and a thin white ring. Aroma is very light with a touch of wheat, flowery hops and some roasted honey. Taste is highly carbonated, some toasted wheat malt, with a touch of caramel. Finish is clean, watery and hardly any bitterness if any.

Pours amber with little to no head (at least when it got to the table). Minor aroma of plain hops & malt. Very weak flavor - water with some malt and hops. Not worth the price or the time.

Caramel-colored and flat with a lightning-fast head & sandy particulate in suspension. Aroma is honey & diacetyl with a sickening sweetness. Flavor is roasty buttered grain with an unwelcome sour start & finish. Turned my stomach. Should be named "Flippin’ Crappy."
