I shared with others around me (JK, e.g.) in not enjoying this very much. Too thin and without a distinctive flavor profile other than a little malt. From growler.

Copper color. Some malt and a little hop character. More of a brown ale than any other style.

[Growler] shared at Skyview’s Lex/Larp Cellars Farewell. Pours a clear amber with a sticky beige head. Aroma is slight, but with some sweet caramel. Flavor and aroma are really lacking in the hops. Flavor is pretty much just caramel.

Growler courtesy of Skyview. Copper color with a medium head. Caramel malt and light orange hop aroma. Lots of dry grain flavor. Light citric hop bitterness. A little plain, but solidly made.

On draught in the Pioneer Haus, inside the UW-Platteville Student Union. Pours a clear light copper brew with a thick and creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of golden grain and caramel malt, plenty of cascade-style hops, a touch of pear with some citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of multi-grain malt, citrus zest a touch of grapefruit, and some caramel. Finish has a mild bitterness that is shortly lived with a lingering citrus zest aftertaste. A decent noble hop aftertaste flavor without the bitterness.
