Bottle from Party Town, KY. Poured amber color with a moderate white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Heavy sweet flavor with a sweet finish of average duration. This did not meet my expectations.

Pours a nice amber, minimal head and fair lace, sweet some what fruity nose, malts also present, start sweet, the middle light, mild carbonation, light hop presence in the quite dry finish. Drinkable, but nothing to cheer about.

All malt nose. Hazy tea colored brew with cool label, and griffin & barley emblem. Dinging it for the twistoff. Thin palate. Malty brew with a tea-herbal aftertaste. Not very balanced, but OK and a little different.

color was o.k. more malt than hop flavor. the label led me to believe it would be an IPA. it was definitely not. as with some of their other brews, it had an off taste, kind of tart? could have been a lot better.

Orangish color,small to no head mild lacing on the side.Malty sweet aroma with a raisin hint and other dried fruit in it,possibly bitter orange peel,mild spice as well.Malty taste with a decent spice to it and mild bitterness fruity and nicely hopped.The after taste is sweet hoppy and mildly fruity as well.nice mild feel in the mouth.A good brew worth trying again.
