pours clear orange-gold, thin head dissipates quickly. aroma was light sweet malt. first taste was nice clean roasted flavors. biscuit and brown sugar came though after a few. unfortunately the soapy hop found in the all together unpleasant barn stormer pale ale became noticeable. it was faint, but distracted from the otherwise nice taste and aroma profile. carbonation was somewhat fizzy as well. has good potential, and i wouldn’t turn one down, but some negative elements bring it down for me.

On tap at Colter Bay Grill. A funky Octoberfest IMO. Pours a clear copper/orange body with practically no head. Sugar aroma with some slight malt and hop scents. Very sweet caramel flavor with a thin spiced finish. Pretty average Flying Bison.

Clear, light, golden amber w/ creamy white foam. Slightly toasty, sweet & malty (caramel, toffee, cookie dough) w/ notes of honey. Light body. Flavour is sweet & malty w/ a candy-ish yeastiness. Finish is mildly cloying.

Light amber in colour with a thin white head. Aroma was quite light, slightly sweet(brown sugar), some malt. Flavour was slightly sweet, mild toasted malt, cookies and dough. Light body, low carbonation. Finishes with a very mild spicy bitterness. Pretty boring and uninteresting.
