Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a hazy amber with beige head. Aroma of lemon grass and malt. Flavor is piney, some caramel, nice hop flavor, faint sweetness, ending in a nice small bitter. Mouthfeel is medium body but feels kinda watery, medium-high carbonation. Overall, not bad.

This is another of the Tommyknocker group from my beer of the month package. I sat down and openned it and was promptly greeted with a "foamer". After I recovered, it poured a dark amber/orange color, with a thick decently lasting head. It actually had a bit of roast and caramel slightly noticeable in the malt. More than expected in an EPA. Quite a surprise for an EPA overall.
