Bottle courtesy of S.L.. Nose is of some Cara, roast, and maybe some corn. no hop aroma. Taste is like a lager and light body of corn grits. Little caramel taste and some roast. Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation and light body. Overall a sessionable beer and made with quality but for different tastes.

Hazy brown, dense tan head, medium body, high co2.

Aroma: high minerality, some roast chocolate astringent malt.

Taste: watery, astringency, minerality, some roasted malt, hint of leafy hops.

Nothing special, somewhat macro tinged, slightly cloying by end.

Poured from the bottle into a glass to drink. The beer had a brown-amber color with a very small white head that had little retention. It had a soft aroma of caramel malt, some grain and grass hops. The taste was sweet with caramel and a bit of bitter grain. It had very light fizz and was somewhat thin and soft. Really nothing too exciting or special about this beer.

Ight copper brown with a fizzy off white head. Sweet malty aroma and taste with a mild nuttiness. banana,

Dark brown/black color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, & some caramel; Flavor of light roasted sweet malt, caramel, and some hops; Palate is a bit watery and bland; Overall, not terrible - but far from great.

Brown pour from bottle. Faint taste of malt, yeast and grass. Nothing special here, so I’ll pass.
