3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 NobleSquirrel (2570) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 13, 2011
Draft at Dad & Dude’s. Pours an attractive deep reddish copper with an off-white head. The nose is sweet, some grassy hop notes and a big malt body. On tasting, it needs more bitterness as it comes across on the sweeter side. Pretty nice malt profile with melanoidins and soft bread crust, but the sweetness is a bit much. More hops would really make this shine. Okay.

Bottle. Pours a translucent amber with an inch head that recedes quickly. Aroma of toffee and caramel. Nice malty backbone with a balanced spicy hop component. Good carbonation. Lighter body.
