Pours a golden straw with good clarity and sustainable thin off-white head. Nose is sweet malt and corn. flavor of an amber, and a bit sour, malty. Good medium body with fair carbonation. Not horrible, but not great.

Only available on tap this beer pours an orangish color with a light tan head. Spells of honey and some fruit. Tastes like a macro brew lager with a slightly skunked aftertaste.

Being from the Greensboro area, I absolutely love this beer. It is a great beer to drink with a steak dinner. It has a nutty & caramel taste and looks great coming out of the tap. The only problem I have is that the Brewery doesn’t bottle it yet, so I have to go to a local bar and pay $3.00 to get it.

pint @ Harrisons. OK aroma, caramel, meaty, nutty. Tad hazed brownihsn orange. Good head that faded quickly, minor lacing. Sweet flavor, initial caramel quickly gives way to the meaty, nutty I was getting in the aroma. little grass & apricot too. Lite body, creamy mouth feel, sweet finish. Unique, I think it’s part of a signature taste I get from these guys. I had moments where I liked it, but that meaty nutty thing wasn’t doing anything for me. Kind of went with the pickle chips I had.

Decent nutty aroma, pours with no head and a reddish color. Kind of a tangy flavor, but decent aftertaste.
