On tap at The Chowder Pot Pub in Greenport, NY. Pours a clear deep yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of floral hops and sweet caramel malt. Flavor of sweet malt, light fruits, and some bitterness in the finish. Flavor is a touch bland. Nice palate, full-bodied, and quite drinkable. Nothing too complex, but definitely a nice beer to just relax with.
