Draft. An amber beer with a rim of beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of brewmash, while the flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel.

On tap @ Brouwer’s. Not an enjoyable experience...quite flat, and somewhat flavorless. Traces of heather are definitely detectable, but not to be note worthy at all.

4th Brewery 07-08 Brew Trip with Bikesandbeer. Pours orange with a sweet nose. Taste is also sweet, and light and generally pretty nice with a little bite.

Draft. Hazy amber color, looks a bit dirty. No head and no lacing. Aroma of caramel malts, pine and juniper berries. Taste is of juniper, butter and earthy mineral character. An interesting idea for a beer but not very as drinkable as I hoped.
