pint at Horniblows Tavern. Good aroma, sweet, malty. Carmel and cocoa. Little hops bite here and there. Clean orange brown color, ok head, little to no lace. Sweet malty flavor. Medium to thick body, creamy oily mouthfeel, dry sweet finish. Tasty brew, 7.5% well hidden, very easy to knock back. Flavor was on the malty side, but has some bite about it....not gonna wow you, but tasty....

Growler shared by cbkschubert. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 1/2" off white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma of light malts, light hops, and earthy dirt. Flavor of sweet malt and earthiness. Overall an easy drinking beer with no lingering aftertastes.

Growler via trade with ucusty - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Aroma is light malt and herbal hops. Flavor is slightly sweetened malt and hops. Fairly balanced. Medium body. The other people I shared the growler with seem to like it. I think it’s a good middle of the road beer. Thanks David.

DMRz (230) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - FEB 23, 2008
Pour is light amber to gold. Fruity pleasantly bitter hop flavor balanced with toasted malt. The hops give the beer a refreshing quality that matches well with the somewhat rich malt. An excellent effort!
