On tap at the new Barleycorns, dark honey modest head, just a little lacing, nice buttery malt flavors with a hint of chocolate.

Clear amber brown with a small white head. Fruity hops, fruit juice, light floral notes and some sweet malts in the aroma. Flavor has a more malt forward presence with the molasses malts, then comes the fruity and lightly floral hops. Almost came off as a very thin barley wine because of it’s molasses malt notes and syrupy alcohol. A pretty decent amber.

Amber color with a short lived white head. Light grain in the nose with some citrus hops. Sharp grapefruit hoppiness with some grass in the finish. Bready malts, but for an amber I found this a really hoppy beer.

12oz bottle. Pours hazy amber with golden edges and white head. Aromas of toasted malts, light citrus, caramel, and some grain. Flavors of toasted malts, watered down hops with a bit of a metallic note. Some caramel mixed in. Average amber at best.

Twelve ounce bottle at GABP. Decent pour with tan head. Too choppy for me. Just alright taste and palate. Thumbs down unfortunately. I wanted to like it.

Sample from 12 fl. oz. bottle at Marty’s Hops & Vines in Cincinnati (College Hill), Ohio. Rating #23 for this beer.

Yeah, nothing I will drink again any time soon. Notes of caramel, toasted malts, and hops. Nothing special.

Great Example of a good Amber, Malty toasty flavour. Great smooth finish. My wife loveeesss Fat Tire, so I put her to a blind taste test and she had no Idea of what each beer was. She chose this over the Fatness! She does have a pretty good palate and was shocked, lol!
