2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 1/20
12 oz. bottle pours a golden yellow with large, frothy head. Moderate carbonation. Malty, bread-like aroma with a fresh-grain sweetness. Not a lot of distinguish-ability in the palates for me. A lot of consistent maltiness, mellow oats and grasses with a smooth finish and little to no aftertaste. Not especially complex, but easily drinkable and a nice smooth beer for a 104 degree day in the DC swampland.

[2863-20100508] 12floz bottle. Odd buttery grass hops aroma. Clear, dark orange amber body with a quick foamy off-white head. Bitter grainy malt flavour has a bit of a fruity background and mild flour powder cocoa hints. Medium body. Average.

Bottled. Amber orange with a ultra thin beige head. Aroma is biscuit/dough and caramel and flavor is much the same...all easy and tongue tickling ending lightly dry getting drier through finish. Okay okay and nice after a super hot day.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Old BA rate - cask)
Generous finger and half of white foamy head; mostly clear amber orange color. Lightly malty and bready; touch of yeasty fruitiness; faint hop note in the aroma. Earthy hoppiness; bready; little hint of sourdough; some grains (in a good way); nice and balanced well. Medium; little oily; nice low carbonation but there. Big time drinkability for me, nice enough
