Pours a good hazy red color with a small well retained head and no lace. The aroma is floral with some caramel with a light buttery character. The flavor is buttery and astringent with some identifiable hop bitterness that seems odd and off balance. There is a fair bit of caramel character that causes the beer to be overly sweet.

Comes out of the tap a clear, appetizing orange amber with a thin off-white head. Malty aroma has apple, pear and caramel notes and is rather sweet. Malty, fruity, somewhat sweet flavor has a hint of caramel. Texture has average body and a fair amount of fizz, leaving a tingly and fruity finish. Overall, not terrific, but worthy of at least a try.
