Amber colored pour with a white head. Nose is grassy with some spicy and floral hops. Sweet bready malt, light toffee/caramel, and a hint of butter. The flavor is kind of bland and generically sweet. Some toffee and caramel, butter, grass, and spicy hops. A bit of a floral note and minimal bitterness.

Draft at Cerveceria Mateveza. True to style but I think a little weighty on the spicy English hops. Awesome color and caramel and toffee right there to support that prolonged hop bitterness.

10 oz sample on tap at the brewpub. The aroma almost has some hints of apple cider present. Light toasty malts are also there. After further inspection, it seems as though the apple quality is more of a floral thing than acetaldehyde. Transparent copper body with a smallish off-white head. Starts a bit metallic and herbal. Light bitterness follows. Becomes super toasted and cereal-like in the middle. Good malty backbone, before a fairly assertive herbal hop bitterness in the finish. Pretty good stuff.
