Cask at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick creamy white head. Aroma of sweet and bready malts. Flavor is certainly malt forward- crackery, bready, slight fruit and floral notes. Mild bitterness in the finish. Ok, drinkable, but not very complex.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampled at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition festival. Pours copper with a soapy tan head. The aroma has sweet toasty malt, nuttiness and overall clean smoothness. Medium crisp body with light carbonation. The flavor starts like the aroma, but is a bit metallic and medicinal. The finis is very minerally and a touch sour.
