COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Made from mostly pale malt and some Munich and caramel malts. These add a little sweetness, which is balanced by more hops. The result is a rich color and fruity flavor.

It is slightly sweet, with some hints of malts. It has a nice complex taste, with it’s sweetness and balance of malts and grains. It pours a dark gold and is very hazy.

The beer has good malt taste. Excellent balance. A little light on the malt mouthfeel. Aroma is also very light and somewhat insufficient for a really good beer. This beer is just fine.

Bottle. Amber pour with diminishing white head, solid particles floating around. Smells of caramel, roasted malts and slight hops. Tastes of the same. Good beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
