Thin to no head on an amber body. Malt aroma and flavor with a mild hop finish. The palate is nice. Some fruit/spice mixture I can’t break apart.

Pours clear copper with a white head, looks like an IPA. Aroma of caramel, yeast, citrus. Taste is more malt and caramel, with some light hops. Body is medium with decent carbonation. Overall, a decent ale.

(Bottle) Pours a clear dark copper color, with a decent white head and good lacing. Aroma of biscuit and caramel. Flavor is a bit darker, with some toffee and perhaps cocoa present. Good amount of hops, especially in the finish. Slight pine and citrus notes as well. Light alcoholic finish. An enjoyable beer, but probably would have been more so in the dead of winter.

I probably should have drank this in the cold months but it wasn’t bad for a late spring screening. Dark pour with a minimal head. Lively on the tongue but not over carbonated. Malty aroma but the taste was well balanced by a crisp hop finish.

Bottle. Bright, crystal clear copper color, big white head that quickly falls to a quarter inch. Yeasty, sour lemons on the nose. Flavors are similar to a more complex amber ale. Malts, toffee, and a decent hop profile. This didn’t blow me away, but it was plenty enjoyable and a good price.
