Fort Wayne, Indiana USA

why is this beer being ripped apart, its cheap and one of the better cans out there, well at least for me....good lookin can...tasty on the gun...is refreshing and highly drinkable...i can see this becoming a cheap fall back beer...some people...

Bottle at GBBF 08. Coppery amber with a hoppy aroma. Malty flavour but a bit quick on the palate.

Clear amber with medium beige head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet flavor with citric, caramel and hoppy notes. Bitter finish.

Bottle at home from my GBBF haul ... nice clear copper ... little smoked woody malt ... sweet malts very ligth spice...decent if mediocre.

From a can so we know that its not light struck; pours a golden amber with a light white head. Very clear beer. the aroma is a nutty malt, somewhat sweet and with a bit of crystal and chocolate malt. The flavor is very full of nutty malt character. It’s toasty and sweet and also contains a little bit of an apple flavor at the back of the mouth. Clean and smooth malt flavors. It finishes calm and with sweet malt flavors.

Rated this at the Flat Top Grill in Fort Wayne, In. It was available on draft and in cans. Draft: Served way too cold. Small ivory head with excellent lacing, very, very little carbonation, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. Malty, caramel and sweet aroma. Flavor was malty, caramel and a burnt, smokey taste. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer. Can: Not as cold as the draft version. Large ivory head with sparse lacing, very, very little carbonation, transparent, and a reddish brown hue. Aroma was malty, caramel, sweet, dusty, and musty. Sweet, malty, caramel, and smoother tasting than the draft version. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer. This is a new small brewery in my hometown and at the time of this rating, this is the only beer of the four that they have brewed that is available to the public and I was impressed with this one and I am eagerly looking forward to the other three becoming available so I can rate them as well. Hopefully, they will receive a favorable rating as their first one has by me.

This draft brew from the Flat Top Grill in Fort Wayne, IN, 46819 formed a large sized head of foamy mostly diminishing off-white colored bubbles that left behind a slightly carbonated transparent red colored body and a good lacing. The canned version formed larger sized bubbles and was more carbonated than the draft version. The aroma was nice with Irish red malty notes. The mouth feel of the canned version was initially smooth and almost flat with a tingly finish and a red malt aftertaste. The draft version had more initial tingle and was served colder than the can. The flavor contained notes of slightly burnt red malty notes. Over all the brew was smooth and very drinkable. We eagerly look forward to some excellent brews coming out in the near future from this new Fort Wayne brewery. Welcome back to Fort Wayne Matt!

Served at Biaggi’s in Fort Wayne, this poured a clear amber with small white head and and light lacing. Noise of caramel malts and some floral hops. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet malts, light floral and grassy hops, and some aromas of wood or nuts. Sweet finish. Would make a great session beer.
