on tap in scottsdale. listed at 4.8% abv, "bready, dry and crisp".

coppery brown colored pour with a frothy off white head and lots of spotty lacing. the aroma is a faint mix of caramel, toasted pale grain and some orange. the flavor shares the same characteristics along with a bit of straw, cooked carrots and a dirty, earthy, bready finish. there is nothing wrong with it other than being bland. it has an easy drinking light to medium body which is refreshing and well suited for food. 5/3/5/3/13/2.9

From the KoP brewery. Poured translucent copper with a thin white head. Nose was hoppy, sweet licorice, and malty. flavor was hoppy sweet, maple, vanilla, oak, licorice, malty. Somewhat peppery carbonation but less so than their king’s wit. I found it to be very reminiscent of Fuller’s esb but not quite as good.
