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.

Pours a great slightly hazy red/orange with a lovely creamy white froth. Crystal malt aroma, lightly sweet and citrusy, orange peel, light hops. Sour grain flavor, slightly toasty with a light hops, some chalky flavors as well. Medium/light body, but it feels weak and watery in the mouth, low soft carbonation. Much better when it was ice-cold.

Poured a copper color with a trim white head from the tap. Mild hops on the nose with plenty of candied caramel in the flavor. Slightly bitter finish, yet very drinkable--particularly when paired with bar food.

Bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Cloudy red color with medium, creamy beige head. Aroma is light noble hops, dry malt sweetness, caramel. Caramel flavor, nutty, a fruity, very chalky and dry malt. Medium to thin body, light fizzy carbonation. The aroma is light and the body and flavor is stale, atleast it looks purty. Not my cup of tea though.

Obviously a summer drink. Some head, which was variable in the glass, pleasant color. Minimal nose, not much hop anywhere. Very light in the mouth.

Bottle. Hazy orange-amber. Sturdy, foamy off-white head. Nose is light citrus, caramel, spicy hops, and fruit notes. Taste is more spicy hops, citrus notes, caramel, sweet malts and fruit. Some soft grain flavors as well. Body is medium with a strong carbonation. Somewhat fizzy in spots. Finishes with more hops, citrus notes, chewy caramel, fainter malt, and fruit.
