Decent beer. Nice dark amber color toped with a frothy tan head with lacing. Aroma is of toffee but with a metalic note as well. Medium bodied and niclely balanced in the finish.

Bottled: Light amber coloured. Offwhite lasting head. Hops, malt and some sweetness in the nose. Fruit, grass, hops and some malts in the flavour. Smooth and vague bitterness in the end.

Pours a slightly clouded orange-brown. Small tan head. Nose is hops and caramel. Taste is sort of nutty but with more of the hop character coming through. Very smooth feel in the mouth. Only a slight "bite" during the finish. Surprisingly better than expected.

Pours a bit deeper in color than I expected. Flavor is at first slightly sweet, but becomes extremely bitter in the aftertaste. Nice lingering flavors, nicely dry hopped with a malt backbone that compliments it quite nicely. My only complaint the finish is slighty watery and chalky. Other than that crisp and easy to drink.

Clear amber body with an offwhite head. A earthy, mostly malt(caramel) aroma complemented by a mild floral hoppiness. Flavor is malty but not sweet, with only a bit of hops and is slightly metallic and earthy. Leaves a mildly dry aftertaste.
