3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at the brewpub. An opaque red brown beer with a nice frothy light tan head. The feel us smooth and kind of has fruit like pulp in the feel. The nose is hop forward with citrus. Those hops also define the flavor. They are pronounced yet subtle. Malt comes next and they are bready and yeasty. This is nice.

Live rate @ Flossmoor Station. Rainy, windy, cloudy day just outside of Chicago. Brew pours a deep, rich Oak Creek red...murky, rusty penny color. Small eggshell head leaves quickly but leaves a ton of sticky lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, roast, honey, and mild vanilla laced citrus. Lots of candied orange and vanilla in flavor as well accompanied by sweet malt and toffee. Medium to chewy mouthfeel. Not bad...glad I had a chance to try it!!!
