On tap, nice nutty and sweet brown. Mildly but nicely hopped per the style, and easy drinking brown that went well with my Philly cheesesteak.

Bottle in trade from robbmotiwalla. Thanks!
Pours clear brown with a short lived beige thin head. Smell is very faint and lightly nutty malt. Taste is watery, thin nutty, toasty malt. Lightly fruity in the finish as well. Decent and drinkable, but thin and unremarkable.

Had this at a bar/resturant in ATL airport waiting on the flight to Dubai. I can’t really do this rating justice because the tender kept giving me a frozen mug, anyway. Nice brown with hints of red from what I could tell. After it warmed it was very smooth with caramel and malt backbone. It was also doughy tasting too. Nice and refreshing I will re rate when I go back threw in Sept. and have a warmer glass

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown, with a quickly disappearing head and sticky lacing. Caramel aromas, cotton candy, banana, some chocolate malts. Flavor has a big malty body, some what of a hoppy finish. Caramel and very distant roastiness and biscuit. Very crisp and easy to drink; refreshing.

Bottle via trade. Caramel color. Smell of nuts, hops, malt, bread and some grains. Taste the same with a touch of coco powder.
