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.

My first pour was disastrous with a giant head. Second pour had a huge head as well. It’s a reddish orange. Aroma is sweet malts and a few touches of hops. Taste is crisp and dry, not a lot there though. Not to say this is bad, it’s tasty, just not complex.

Clean and Crisp, but doesnt really smell or taste like anything! I got this one because of the badass bottle. Pretty good beer though!

Clear amber with a frothy head. Nice fruity sweet malt smell. Mild taste is malt driven with pit fruits then a slight dry, biscuit grain taste to finish. No off flavors here and very drinkable. 103006

On draft at Flagstaff Brewing. Pours a snore-fest orangey amber color, decent initial head, weak retention, ok lacing. The aroma was caramel and caramel. The flavor was caramel, some faint mixed nuts and fruity elements, semi-dry lightly hopped finish. Everything about this was moderate to light (flavor, aroma, mouthfeel), weak, not bad, just not enough character to impress (but SKA hasn’t done that for me at all yet, so...).

(Bottle) Pours a light amber color with a large white head. Sweet caramel and biscuits in the aroma. Taste includes sweet toffee and brown sugar. Very sweet, without enough hops to really balance this one out. Dry and astringent finish. Over carbonated, with a pretty thin palate. Not a big fan of this.

Slightly hazy golden amber pour, with a small foamy head. Light scents of malt and hops. Flavor is also light with some sweetness and hops. Palate is somewhat watery, but overall this is very drinkable.

Pours hazy yellow amber with foamy white head. Aroma is sour citrus hops, reminds me of sourpatch kids candy. Flavor is sweet caramel malt with nice mellow fruity hop finish. Overall, enjoyable session beer.

Slightly sour with carmel malt flavor, smooth finish with just a hint of bitterness and high carbonation.
