On tap at Tugboat. Poured a murky to light amber with no body. Caramel malt notes, thin and watery. Slightly acidic and dull as sin.

Not a bad amber. Smells of a balanced amount of the tugboats hops and caramel malts. Tastes equally of the two and goes down smooth. Doesn’t have too yeasty a flavor as some ambers do. Not bad.

[Tap – Brew Pub] A amber colored brew that was just there nothing special about this brew. The beer was light in flavor and seemed to be missing a few key ingredients. Wish I had a better beer to finish the night.

This was definitely infected, along wih everything else that I tried from this place. Strong sour musty aromas and flavors. You can tell this has some great potential though. Pours a nice amber color with a tan head that is nice a frothy, but everything else just went sour after that.

Nice ruddy amber beer. Tart fruity aroma, a bit of cherry and strawberry. Light horseblankety aroma (uh oh). I don’t think it’s supposed to be sour, but its definitely infected. I wouldn’t say the infection kills it though. Sort of ends up being a bit tart and fruity. Quite refreshing actually. Thin body.
