A good looking beer in a pint glass. Tastes way better on tap than in a bottle. The beer goes well with Guiness.

A good beer to drink if you are going out to the bar to have a few. Very drinkable and pretty tasty. Some caramel flavor that makes it stand out a little from run of the mill beers.

12 oz bottle, Pours a clear copper with a moderate off white head that doesn’t persist. Very lightly carbonated. Almost no aroma, maybe a touch of carmel maltyness. Very clean light malt flavor with a touch of hop bitterness. Clean dry finish.

Light iced tea colored pour with a small white head. Nutty, bready aroma with a balance of caramel and slight spicy hops. Flavor is toasted almond, biscuit, and mild spicy hops. Medium body.
