Commercial Description:
Maybe you're not in the mood for a raspberry flavored, low carb, ice, dry maltsicle, and you certainly aren't in the mood for a Rotgutzen. You are, however, always in the mood for a Pinstripe. Brewed with caramel malts and Liberty hops, the Pinstripe has a slight fruity finish and dance.

Amber with a light foamy head. Bready toast and caramel nose. Vanilla flavour. The beers tries to taste like the aroma but does not measure up. Hint of chocolate and toast. Does seem to grow on you a bit.

Bottle: Orange hued caramel, slightly dirty, large foamy off-white head, sticky lacing.   Soft malts on the nose, slight sourness that leads me to believe it hasn’t been well kept.   Airy mouthfeel, dry sweetness, like unflavored pixie stix.   Soft sourness, with a very pale malt profile.   Hopwise, nothing there.   Moderate body.   Clean finish.   For a beer that could be off, it wasn’t half bad.   Sorta like a weak Amber meets a soft Gueuze.   May need to rerate this one regardless.

12 oz. bottle - Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is light malt, very light esters, and hops. Light malt and hop flavor. A balanced and easy drinking amber. Medium body. Would make a decent session beer.

My traveling buddy grabbed this for me, and I enjoyed this. It was not anything outrageous, but a good, solid everyday red.

Reddish amber appearance with a small, off white head and very good lacing. Mildly spiced, hoppy aroma with some overlapping notes of soft fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and decently carbonated. Initially, a moderately sweet malt taste gives way to a drier, hoppier, spicy finish that lingers.

Draft/Bottle/Durango & Telluride Colorado. Great beer. Pours a medium amber color with a huge sized head. Interesting aroma and a citrus/caramel yet hoppy tasting beer.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a medium amber color with a huge sized off white head. Aromas of lemons, light caramel, orange peels, and I was getting a peppery spiciness. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and the same peppery spiciness. Thinner and lively body.

Bottle: Light Amber color with minimal head. Sugar cane, cake, and decent hops in the nose, all ends up very sweet. First hits the mouth surprisingly dry. Then melts into an enjoyable malty sweetness. The hoppy citrus follows, and contunues to compete with the dark, carmel malts the rest of the way. Decent body. The finish alternates between the hops and malts, rather than blending the two, which I found stange and somewhat interesting...
