On tap at the Water Street in Delafield location. Poured a medium and see through amber color with almost no head. Aromas and teaste of caramel and not much more.

Dark golden color with a smallish light cream head. Sweet caramel and mild hops nose. flavors follow the nose in an undramatic style. Another amber for the masses.

Big caramel nose, and caramel color to boot. Smooth, smoky, malty-semi-sweet flavor becomes more burnt and smoky as you go; not a good thing in this case. Thinnish body, weak finish.

On draught at the brewery/brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours a light clear copper amber brew with a fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a thin white ring. Aroma has a light fish scent with some grassy hops and a touch of caramel malt. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation with a light flavor of caramel malt, some grassy hops. Finish is watery, some light fruit at first and then clean cut and crisp.

On tap at Water Street - Delafield. Poured a clear medium amber with a short cap of white head. Aroma was of sweet caramel and artificial sweetener along with some candy.. very sweet.. faint herbal notes round it out. Very sweet again in the flavor with slightly toasted caramel, candy, floral bitterness, and an odd sourness toward the back. Lighter-bodied with decent balance on the palate.. felt OK.

Amber color with little head. A slightly malty aroma and taste, but nothing too distinctive about it.

On tap at thier downtown Milwaukee location. Dark golden pour with a medium sized white head; slight lacing. Faint floral aroma. Bland flavor, nothing really there, perhaps a bit of citrus and a trace of caramel. Stinging mouthfeel. Overall, not good.
