Can. Dark golden colour with white head. Very carbonated. Citrus aroma, some wet grass. Flavour has good richness in hops. More than in aroma. Metally and watery palate. Some bitterness.

I had this on tap at Buffalo Wild Wings. It went really well with lunch and was a pleasant beer. Nothing special, but not bad at all. I enjoyed it, and recommend it.

Hopefully I didn’t get a bad bottle because the one I’m rating smelled skunked. I’ve had it before and it’s never smelled like this before so i’ll go off this and previous tastes. Aroma is strong of hops and wheat. Appearance is a brown but a bit too much see through for my liking. I had no head but that was probably my fault for not having a properly taken care of glass at the time. Flavor was hops and wheat with some bite. Purddy good. Went down smooth with a bit of bite. Overall, good beer, but honestly, I prefer it with a Guinness in the Black & Tan form. Still gotta say it’s good tho because it’s got substance and some depth to it which is more than one can say for American macro brewers.

On tap. This is a beer I previously only had in a black and tan. Was at the airport and with the limited beers available decide to give it a go. Amber with a tiny off white head. Aroma was caramel sweetness and a light spicy bitterness. Flavor was balanced well and goes down smooth and is fairly refreshing. Nothing bad to say about it.

Pours copper, with a small offwhite head. Nose is fruity. Taste is malt and caramel upfront with a small citris bite. Taste is nice, but not terribly complex. Overall, a good everyday beer.
