2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick, dirty tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves lots of lacing. Faint aroma and taste of bready caramels, citrus and melons, toasted toffees, and a light bitterness. Finishes dry with more of a sweet melony, soft bitter linger. Light bodied and smooth. Overall, not a bad beer, but fairly unexciting.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear orange-brown color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Faintly sweet malt and fruit aroma. Medium-bodied with bready malt and fruit flavors plus a hint of hops. The finish is mildly malty with notes of caramel and hops left over. Not bad, just not impressive on any front.

Draft at the brewery. Decent amber color with a nice frothy white head. Flavors of roasted malt and caramel. Not much exciting about this beer but ok.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at brewpub. Clear amber color, leaving lacing in even rings. Bland nose like the other house beers, partly faulted by tiny taster glasses but still...flavors are mainly nutty and lightly hopped. Soft mouthfeel. Bland and uninspired.
