3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap in Pinellas Park, FL, listed as their "special" brew. Poured a clear effervescent light red with a semi-creamy white head. Faint citrus and cream aroma. Flavor is dry and spicy with notes of fruit, cinnamon, and a bit of alcohol. Could have been a bit fruitier and less dry, considering the light strength, but I enjoyed it.

Pint glass at the pub, Oklahoma CIty, OK: poured copper colored with a medium sized beige head. Fairly strong malt aroma. Initial taste had quite a bit of earthiness to it but that went away halfway through. Malty flavor with just slight sweetness. Good.

The aroma is sweet with some caramel malt. The appearance is amber with a thin head. The flavor has cardboard, grain husks, honey, and malt. The palate is thin. There really isn’t a whole lot going on here.

Draft in Orlando... Clear amber lager with orange highlights and a small, wispy, off-white head. Sweet crystal malt aroma with notes of honey and spicy hops. Caramel malt and honey flavor with a crisp, spicy hop bite. Medium-bodied and oily with moderate carbonation. Bittersweet, medium dry finish.

(Tap at BJ’s - Norman, OK) Pours a rich amber color with little head. Sweet aroma of unrefined sugar and molassas. Taste is similar, yet rather harsh and a bit alcoholic. Not the easiest beer to drink; I’m glad I only got the sampler.
