3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap. Light earthy aroma with musty malt. Flavor is muddled malts. Fairly boring but it was a good beer for turning new beer drinkers on to local beer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Full brassy amber with a vague head. Mild malt aroma. Boring, grainy body with a light tannic finish. A lackluster amber.

Sampler tray at Pizza Company. Pours out a very light amber with a small, thin white head and nondescript lacing. Aroma is fairly faint with floral and earthy notes with mild spice. Tastes very lightly of earthiness and caramel malt with a bit of a bitter finish. Another disappointing new (to me) beer from that trip to the PC.

Draught at Laurelwood Pizza. Poured pale amber with a frothy head. Faint aroma, a little floral, ’n bietje mout, Light, almost thin body. Not much there but malt. Tiny bitterish finish. On a hot day this might be wonderful, but twas only average on a cold.
