Cherry and butterscotch aromas. Cotton candy malty with slight wood and very light body. Finishes with roasted cashews, ocean wind and very mild sourness.

Very malty and with clear yeast astringent tastes, cloudy and foamy but the head does not hold. Some buttery notes and a clean finish

Bottle with Thanksgiving dinner. Pours a copper color into a tulip with a sizable head and some residual lace. The aroma is floral and spiced. The flavor has notes of sweetness, pear, white grape, white chocolate, and some bitterness. The palate is refreshing and cleansing. Overall, quite nice with the entire meal.

Draft at Radio Maria in Champaign, IL Pours copper amber with a white head. Caramelly and estery nose. Lighter side of medium bodied with a fine spritzy carbonation. Flavor of toffee, apple, spice, and even some butterscotch. Nothing exciting, but very drinkable.
