On tap at the brewpub (06/06/09). Gold in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of grain, sewage water, and caramel. Taste is of caramel, hops and grain.

Clear look with a golden color and a small off white head. The smell is pool water, malts, hops. The taste is some bitterness, malts, watery, and hops.

Sample at the brewpub with the club on April 24, 2009. Darker amber color, fine head. Nice aroma, almost roasted and heavy. Has a light, but sweet, flavor that’s just a little bitter. Pretty good. I almost want to say better than their IPA. Definitely roasted.

First to rate! Clear orange pour. Sweet citrus aroma. Flowery, almost detergent like. Gentle bitter taste of hops greets the taster. Has a rather tart finish as well. Most intriguing...
