Thanks to tronraner for sharing this at the April Get Together. A clear, medium amber beer that sits below a thin white head. Solventy malt aroma. Slightly sweet with a dry finish. All fo the above flavors can only be found with some searching however. Thin and watery.

Bottle..thanks jjpm74...slightly cloudy amber, tan head...light malty aroma + a little fruity, almost like grapes...light body and carbonation--a light sweetness throughout...not much going on here--a little bitter hop in the finish along with a metal aftertaste...watery and unbalanced

This would make a great session pale ale, with a cookie dough maltiness and a bitter citrus hop bite. Nicely balanced in the sense that it is not trying to be anything its not, very simple and clean. Drinkable! I would by this all the time if it were available to me.

Bottle from jjpm74. Thanks! Dark amber beer with a thin lasting head and great lacing. Caramel malts and nuts are strong in the aroma with a little spicy hops in the background. The flavor is very similar. Caramel and toasty malt that are mildly sweet. They are followed by a crisp hoppiness that is a little spicy too.

Poured from a 12oz bottle amber in color with a tan head. Aroma is a fine mixture of caramel malt and hops. Flavor is malty up front then the hops kick in followed by a nice hop bitterness in the finish.
