Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Yep the description is right, this is agreat balance of malt and hops! The only problem i have with this is the prickly mouth feel other wise it’s a pleasure to drink!

Orange-brown copper pour into thick foamy tan head that slowly dissipates into ring of foam that hangs around the edge of the glass into melting lacing. Carbonated bubbles slowly rise from the bottom of the glass into a pool of foam in the center at the surface. Aroma of sweet malty citrus with a slight hoppy balance. Initial flavor of sweet caramel malt that fades into a buttery, slightly hoppy finish.

550 ml. bottle. Pours a light tan head of good duration, over a light brown body...nose of malts, no flowery hops here....tastes of mild to medium malts, with a mild chemical taste in mid "chew" with minimal hop bittering toward the end....mouth feel is lighter than expected.

Bottle. Poured pale orange with foamy white head. Malty aroma with a fresh river note. Malty flavour with a hop edge. Rather thin finish. Good with fish and chips.

Sample from BevMo! Mission Valley beer tasting. Dark, muddy amber in color. Aromas are mostly malty. Some fruitiness and earthy undertones with the slightest hint of hops. Medium bodied with a rather unpleasant sour bitterness to it.
