Tap @ the Old Fashioned - Pours light amber with a small white head. Smells of sweet honey and light bread. Taste is hints of barley with some light mineral water and hay flavor. A bit of skunk on the end distracts a bit, but I could drink a growler of this stuff.

Draft at Old Fashioned. Filtered orange tan. Thin head. Buttery, definitely susceptible to the Calumet diacetyl curse. Completely missing the mark, should embarrass the brewer. Grainy, buttery, nasty swill.

On tap at Rowlands Calumet Brewery. Straw yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is buttery with wheat and malt. Taste is overrun with diacetyl with some wheat and malt hiding in the background. Crisp finish and the worst of the beers I tried on this visit.
