Off taps at brewery. Hazy amber golden. Slight aroma of carmelized malts with a touch of earthy hops. Quite fruity yeast charater with good shot of earthy hop bitterness on top of pale grainey malt sweetness. Medium body and weel carbonated. Finish is moderately dry with some lingering bitterness. SRM about 14.

Bottle, #397   Copper pour with a small head. Earthy and malty aroma and flavor. Pretty decent brew.

Draft at the brewery. Hazy, dark pour with medium head and subtle lacing. Grainy and slightly bitter aroma. Hops make a bit more of an appearance in the pleasantly bitter taste. Not much going on here.

light amber, hazy. Medium white head fades quickly. Has a fruity aroma, like grapes. Kinda bitter, kinda soapy. Not really loving this. Mildly unpleasant aftertaste lingers. No thanks.

Pours a gold with barely any head. Smells sweeter than their Golden but similar - almost ideintical in taste. The taste is too light once again.
