A light amber colored beer with an off-white head. The nose is sweet and malty with a nice toast and bread character. Some subtle fruit esters, a mild grass note, light peat, and yeast. The flavor has a slight dryness to it, particularly the finish, but is otherwise sweet. Bread, toast, and a light fruitiness. Some yeast, subtle spicy hops, and very light peat.

I had this on draft at Monterey Coast Brewing. Their sign said that the malts used in this were from Glen Eagles (well, it was Glen E.. it was a bit far away) and it did give this malty brew a taste of scotch. Unlike their description, it’s not full bodied, medium at best. It’s a tasty brew though

Draft at the brewpub. Nose was roasty and caramel. Rusty amber with a small off white head. Flavor was light bitterness, raosty wheat, and a hint of smoke.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nothing inspiring but a generally good microbrew. Bought a growler from the tap in Salinas, it didn’t last too long.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very strong malt flavor in this beer. Some caramel and toffee and a bit of a roastiness too. Good bitterness and a touch of alcohol to even everything out.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this on tap at the brewery. Has a orangish/amber color with little carbonation/head. Smell is of sweet malt/hops. Taste is moderately malted and finishes with a nice bitterness. Overall another pretty standard beer.
