Draft at the source. Clear golden color. Aroma of dirty straw. Taste is grass, scallions. Off style?

Pour is light brown, thin head. Aroma of caramel and smoke. Flavor of caramel, a bit of sourness, some peaty smoke in the finish. Thin body, somewhat watery for the style. Carbonation low. Meh.

Draft at nodding head..reddish hue, good clean finish, enjoyable for a lighter style scotch ale, fairly smooth, nice

I got this beer at the NH Brewery, it was delicious! I’m becoming a big fan of this style beer, and I think they did a great job. Very very good beer!

Draught at brewpub. Caramel color and taste. Amber. Light body. Not incredible memorable but drinkable.

Malty, toasted, caramel aroma with noticeable sweetness but not overwhleming. Medium, smooth mouth. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, brown sugar, nutty. Packed full of flavor for a 4.5% beer. I would happily down this all night.

Amber in color with a thick tan head. Malty and smooth with a bit of nuttiness and not too sweet.

From the tap poured an amber color with a fair amount of head. Light malty flavor with a quick finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Very interesting texture with the cask fermentation. Was somewhat flavorless, sadly, although there was nothing particularly offputting about it. It was certainly malty with a little bit of sweetness that I was expecting.

Not a ton of aroma with this one. It certainly looks the business but it doesn’t really taste of anything. Nice carbo on the mouth but to little effect. Session beers can’t just be low in alcohol and finish clean, they also have to have taste.
