Cloudy amber with a quickly evaporating off-white crown. Lively one. Aroma of grains, caramel, malt, funk and paint. Hmm. Taste of caramel, malt, and mild hops. Balanced with a sweet finish with a touch of bitterness. Not their best option.

Bottled. Poured clear coppery-amber with a short-lived cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up toasted nutty notes, caramel, and a touch of sourdough bread topped by leafy hoppage.. smelled like it was going to be astringent. The flavor found caramel and a little honey at the core with leafy bitterness and spicy alcohol surrounding.. surprisingly hot for an amber.. finished with toasty caramel and sharp bitterness. Lighter-bodied and sharp as mentioned on the palate.. this didn’t seem infected, but it came across as possibly old (just bought it recently, but y’never know).

Bottle. Poured a brownish amber with an off-white head. Aroma was full of sweet malt notes but not much else. Flavor a bit more balanced as it began with sweet malts but had more of a citrus hop finish.
