Draft @ brewpub. Very dark amber with lasting head. Sweet but bland malt aroma. The flavors are better with characterful fruity overtones. It’s unrefined without being rustic. Which makes it sort of boring and average--neither good nor bad but just mediocre and drinkable. The fruity malts are nice--in an apple butter/apple spread mode. Something about the house character (yeast?) that rubs my tastebuds the wrong way.

Hazy orange-tan. Thin head. Bready, worty aroma is appetizing. Toasty, mildly bitter with a predominantly bready character. There is a good vibrant acidity that lends balance.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy deep golden, creamy head. Buttery nose. Mid sweet with medium body and soft mouthfeel. Buttery malt covered in salty grassy hops. Long spicy bitterness. Refreshing and well drinkable.
