Growler. Striking in the glass. A rich, brown pour with deep amber highlights. Very creamy and frothy off white head that leaves the stereotypical Town Hall sticky lacing. Toasted bready malt and some bright citrus hops on the nose. Balanced flavor profile for sure. Plenty of doughy malt but also a lot of resiny and citrusy hops. Lush and creamy texture with a lasting bitter finish. Very well done amber.

16 oz. pour, on tap at the brewpub. Malty, meaty, floral aroma. Pleasant but simple smell. Pours a clear, brown / maroon / dark amber with a red glow and a small to moderate amount of beige head. Produces extensive lacing. Very cool appearance. Sweet, malty, buttery taste features red grape and candy sugar flavors. Medium body. Creamy and soft in the palate. The texture works well with the floral-sweet taste.

On tap at Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery. Golden amber pour with strong aroma of fresh hops. Taste is same but real smooth and not much of a real harsh bitterness to it. Light malt bill as well. Real smooth and good. Would buy again.

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear mahogany color. The head was off white and left a bit of lace on the glass. Subdued aroma overall with hints of brown sugar, fall leaves, and toffee. The flavor was malt dominated without being sweet. I tasted toffee, toasted bread, brown sugar, and light grassy hops. There wasn’t much more than minimal hop bitterness. IMO this was decent, but lacked personality. Looks like everyone who came before me thought it was the bomb. I didn’t think there was enough hop flavor or bitterness to lump this into the "malty IPA" category mentioned previously.

Thought this was kinda a cross between the masalla mama and....somthing else? Seems to be the concensus that this is pretty much a malty IPA, and it worked well. Still a great hop bite, with a bit more body.
