Another groovy can with a green anodized pull tab from bhensonb in a great trade. Small, quickly dissipating head with a deep amber, slightly hazy pour. Initial nose is the caramel form the malt followed by light floral hops. The initial taste is a little sweet but finishes with a well balanced medium dryness. In a cooler of light lagers at a picnic, I’d pull out one of these any day, but wouldn’t drive to the store for one.

Single can purchased at Olive or Twist in Platte City, MO. How the heck did an Oregon beer with only 47 ratings make it to Small Town, Missouri?!? Anyway, this is a tasty little "malt bomb". Hazy amber-brown with a nice cap of off-white head. Some sticky lacing, but in a spotty pattern instead of well-formed rings. Smells like a rising ball of bread dough with a tiny touch of Cascade hops. Flavor is straightforward, malt on malt. Not terribly sweet despite the Crystal presence, just like drinking down a loaf of wheat bread. Simple, flavorful, and done well.

Can from BevMo. Medium amber/brownish in color. Somewhat bready aroam. Some hop presence as well. Quite malty. Some spicy hop flavors finish it up. Quite dry and somewhat roasty. Pretty good little amber.

This reddish amber beer poured with a decent beige head and a toffee aroma. The fluffy head subsided, leaving a sweet tasty caramel malt brew with a little carbonation and a nutty hop finish.

Can that I picked up from Bellingers, Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage, Oxon, consumed 15-10-09 pours orange with a slight orange tinge, off white head which is a bit filmy, also touch of haze and medium carbonation. Some toffee in the bite, touch of stickiness and sweet malts but these are more than balanced out by the crisp refreshing nature of this beer. Soft in the mouth, a little flush of fresh hops, very pleasant. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.7
