On tap. Clear amber golden with a creamy off-white head leaving a pretty lacework. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel, good and solid maltiness with caramel accents. The finish is dry and lightly hoppy. 070709

Bright amber with a decent head. Hints of caramel and light fruit on the nose. Low bitterness. Some toast, slightly spicy hop. Quick and easy.

Tap at SDBC. Amber coloured beer. Aroma is mostly of light pale malts. No real character malts apparent in spite of the deep colour. Flaovur is quite bland with just a kiss of earthy bitterness. Meh... quite uninspired.

Draft: Bronze color, nose if lightly hopped, watery, sour. The flavor is similar, bland. Finishes tart. Hard to compare to the other hoppy SD beers on tap.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear orange-brown color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Faintly sweet malt and fruit aroma. Medium-bodied with bready malt and fruit flavors plus a hint of hops. The finish is mildly malty with notes of caramel and hops left over. Not bad, just not impressive on any front.
