Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Poured a slightly hazy orange/amber color. The head was a tall creamy light tan. The head left a light amount of lacing. The aroma was rather mild and was of malt and bread. There was a light malt sweetness to the taste, but it was also on the dry side. Others here have mentioned a mineral taste, which is what I found, but couldn’t put a finger on it at the time. There was a little bit of hops that came thru toward the finish that made it refreshing. It was an easy drinking beer

Kinda boring. Flavor seems weak, and barely even tastes like it has any alcohol at all. There’s nothing "off" about this beer, nothing overbearing, just nothing special. Every swallow tastes more like water. Weird.

Bottle. Pours with a small, off-white head over a clear bronze body. Aroma of malts, light esters, caramel, sugar and very light hops. Taste is metallic, bread, soil and bitter. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Pours a dark amber with a frothy two finger sandy-brown head. A light aroma of malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, some raisins and just a bit of hop bitterness. Nicely balanced, albeit leaning to the malt. Light mouthfeel, light carbonation and a little creamy. Super easy to drink, a great session beer.
