Sampled at the East Nashville Beer Festival, ’11 Aroma of agave, light brown ale, slight molasses, little roasty, but overall very light. Not bad, but there’s not much to go on in terms of flavor, incredibly subtle and subdued. Like Sugar was the main ingredient.

Cloudy light brown. Citrus, brown sugar and candy on the nose. Medium bodied palate is a little thin up front, but has flavors of candy, vanilla and baking spice in the middle and a nice finish. Good, a little on the sweet side for me.

Amber, cloudy, and almost no head. Mildly spicy, toasty, caramel aroma. Smooth, rich palate. Lots of caramel and brown sugar, and a crisp. woody finish. Odd yeasty sweetness as well.

Brown-red, beige cover. The aroma is sadly pretty empty save some faint sweetness. Taste is sweet, woody, earthy, some chocolate, a tiny bit metallic around the edges.
