May 22, 2008 Lightly hazed darker amber color with only a few bubbles left afloat after the pour. Earthy pale malt, light caramel and a hint of floral hops. SOme hints of grass and vegetables as it warms. Mild pale malt start, and afraid that is about as good as it gets, which leads to an earthy bitter middle and fairly tart acidic finish and linger. Some toffee does come in as it warms, but still seems unclean to me.
