3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
First off, kudos to Mac’s for the adult-size bottle, a very good thing in a beer you like but not the best for a dud; good thing I liked this one. Pouring a modest two fingers of a foamy tan head above an excellent clear amber body, a small bit of lacing eventually arrived. Aroma was a nice maltiness and so is the taste. Mouthfeel was a lil’ bit sharp to start but overall taste and mouthfeel were pleasant and clean, with some malt and hop. Aftertaste was, how can I say it, ’calming’ perhaps?

Draft at the alehouse in Walnut Creek. A dark golden (more than amber) beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, elderflowery hops, and some caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of elderflowers, malt, and caramel, leading to medium bitter finish.

12 oz. bottle I received in a trade with unclemike. Pours a slightly hazed amber with a thin linen white head that faded to a ring after the first sip and left no lace. Mild aroma of malt and citrus. The flavor is equally mild with light malt and a bit of citrus. Mild-moderate bitterness at the finish. Ok.
