Bottle. Medium sized off-white fizzy head that mostly diminished, very little lacing, carbonation noted, transparent, and a golden hue. The nose was malt, some hops, caramel, sugary, sweet, and bready. The same for the flavor with some hops as the beer warmed up. Smooth, somewhat thin mouthfeel and light in body. An easy drinking beer and almost too easy to drink due to the smooth flavor. This was an uncomplicated beer, but I did not find anything "speciale" about it.

This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a large sized head of foamy white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent golden brown colored typically carbonated body and a foamy lacing. The aroma was mild with herbal notes. The mouth feel was mildly tingly at the start and mediumly tingly in the finish. The flavor contained notes of hops malt and thin brown malts.
