12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a lightly cloudy, burnt orange. Aroma of floral hops and some citrus with a little caramel. Taste is light bitter. Citrus, floral hops and some caramel. Medium bodied with a slightly thick texture. Soft carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Nothing really special but quite drinkable.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz bottle pours a clear amber/copper color with moderate eggshell heand and not much lacing. Aroma is soapy with mostly caramel malts and yeast. Taste is neutral with a short finish- could use some hops. Light to medium body. Not difficult to drink but nothing memorable. The bourbon-barrel-aged version of this is much better.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. BFD!! Slightly darker yellow than the average piss poor macro. Off beige head is pretty. So lightly hopped it doesn’t matter. Roasted grains are detected, unfortunately those grains are corn and wood. Quick finish is wayyyyy too quick if you ask me. This is not horrible, yet it IS horribly mediocre.

Great American Beer Festival, 2012. Light amber color with a thin palate and mild malt flavor. It drinks easily enough, but the long description, it is very light and doesn’t have much to offer.

14 oz. draft on tap at O’Charleys in Georgetown, KY. Offered thus local ale by the waitress and had to try it. Looks nice - clear brown gold ale with no head and only trace lacing. No aroma really. Taste is deep roasted malts with a non bitter hops finish. Something unique in that aftertaste I can’t quite peg. Very soft palate and rather flat. Warming. A nice compliment with my meal. At least, better fare than the commercial crap.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A mellow, chalky, grainy aroma with light toasted notes - really put me in the mind of whole grain bread, or some of the less assertive pumpernickels that I’ve had. Light orange, clear beer with a decent white head. Bad label, good 6’er packaging. Sweet, caramel, lightly bitter, a little bock-y tin, implied milk chocolate. Slightly heavy mouthfeel, a little chalky and creamy. This had an overall sweet and smooth character. Not bad. ABC Liquors, Betton.

Bottle. Amber with small head. Light malt body and very light hops. Pleasant but unremarkable.

Amber,beige head, scarce bead.Light malt nose and palate, fruity notes. Faint hop finish. A good session beer
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
The aroma is slightly soapy with brown sugar, mixed grains, and light hops. The appearance is amber gold with a foamy head. The taste is like the aroma with an astringent finish. The palate is soft. The beer is overall drinkable but definitely needs the bourbon barrel aging to make it enjoyable.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
semi-transparent amber in color. sweet caramel aroma along with some bread and earthiness. tastes of sweet caramel and some very light hops on the end.
