3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewpub. Aroma is non-existent faint generic malt. Pours a darker amber caramel, with a rim in off-white. Flavor is very, very plain. Not offensive, but not nearly characterful enough. This is plain. Generic malt. Faint, faint smoke and some toasted wheat. A bit of bread and some alcohol. Palate runs a little sweet. Meh. Drinkable, but nothing to get excited about.
