Bottle. Poured a dark amber with an average to large rocky off-white head that was lasting with good lacing. Mediumfloral sweet grainy aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate bittersweet flavor with a moderate sweet finish of medium duration. Good sweet grain brew.

On tap at Hinterland. Poured a brilliant medium caramel with a short, well-retained cap of sticky white head.. solid dose of rising carbonation too. Aroma picked up sweet, lightly-toasted caramel with some darker fruits at the core.. dusty with a bit of detergent on the back. Flavor was of moderately sweet caramel and darker fruits again.. light floral bitter accents worked well with a light hit of citrus at the finish. Well-balanced and light-medium bodied.. mild bitterness.

Dark copper color with a small off white head. Light fig and mild malt aromas. Caramel and pale malts abound in the flavors. An slightly above average amber.

On draught at the brewpub in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Pours a clear coppery amber brew with a creamy off-white head that has good retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some fruity character with scents of apple, pear and some flowery hops. Taste is lightly carbonated, medium bodied with a smooth caramel malt and mild bitter flavor. Finish is slightly bitter with a multi-grain malt aftertaste that quickly disappears.

Sampled from the tap at the Milwaukee location. Pours a clear amber with an off white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice floral note with light hops and backing cereal. Flavor has notes of sweet grains and cereal with a bit of light fruit in the finish.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head quickly recedes to hug rim. Caramel aromas. Bread, caramel, toffee and nuts from front to back. Dry mild resin finish.

Dark red-orange, white head. Aroma is apples, fruit, caramel. Taste is sweet, light grassy, caramel, fruits.

On tap. My friend thought it was hoppy, but to me this is as middle-of-the-road hum-ho as it gets.

Reddish copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma of heavy caramel, dark fruits, light grassy hops and a touch of chocolate. Taste is very sweet and grainy. Caramel and dark fruits prevail with a smattering of citrus and the aforementioned grains. Just a shade of bitterness. Overall, not to bad, a bit maltier than I had expected, but has more character than most ambers on the market.

Bottle. Mostly clear amber pour with a nice initial soapy head that fades quickly. Nice aroma of flowers and caramel. Medium to lighter palate, low carbonation. Taste isn’t as good as the aroma - mild caramel, low hop, low carbonation.
