3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours clear tawny with a medium, frothy and foamy off-white head, medium retention with good lacing. Aroma is earthy and spicy Noble hops, biscuit and grain malt with peach and pear fruity esters. Flavor is well balanced sweet malt with medium hops and bitterness, light fruity esters, and a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Slight sweetness in the nose with interesting hop blend. Brown with fleks of orange in the color with frothy off-white head. An enjoyable beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Craft. Poured medium copper with a finger of off-white head and not much lace. The aroma was German malt, hops, somewhat ESBish. Tasted malty, with that German grainy dryness and biscuity quality, an assertive hop bill, and some late grainy notes. Decent, but not something I’d order again at Craft, what with all the great stuff they get in there.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Craft Ale House. Pours copper with a very small white head that dissipates rather quickly. The aroma is on the bready side, some caramel, and a big hoppy trail. The taste is on the sweet side up front with a dry, hop bite. Pretty solid.
