This was
Purchased by a friend for me to take to the USC v Navy game in Columbia. The beer poured with a smallish head from the growler. The color was an inviting amber. The beer had a slight yeasty taste. The amber beer lacked hops to add to the taste. We will be taking this to the game. Finish was smooth with sweetness.

Serving: Draft at the 2010 Fall Brewfest.
Aroma: The nose is straightforward with toasted and bready notes, but not much from the hop side.
Appearance: It pours a nice amber orange color with a slight, foamy, off-white head.
Taste: The flavor has a fruity bitterness and a lingering off flavor. A bit vegetal. Something just doesn’t seem quite right here as I’ve lost the toasted notes from the nose.
Palate: Light to medium body with average carbonation and a lingering, bitter finish. It lacks crispness and cleanness.
Overall: This one didn’t impress me as much as I hoped it would. I would like to give this one another shot on tap at the brewery though.
