12oz bottle. pours medium amber, with a short off-white head. Aroma of mild hops, along with crystal malt, caramel, and some nutty character. Flavor is sweet malt with a mild amount of grapefruity hops. Long, mildly bitter finish. Drinkable, but unremarkable.

12oz bottle. This one was a slow gusher. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a huge, huge sized off white head. Aromas of floral, caramel, and a little soapy. Tastes of floral hops, caramel, and a little grass.

nice aroma and flavor, easy drinking. hops are in front for sure, malt is minimal and fairly unimpressive.

Pours a hazy honey color. Very little aroma, but a nice floral and pine flavor in this. I like it overall.
