This one pours a clear bright amber colour with a medium sized white head. Aroma is very malty accented by strong hop aromas. Plenty of carbonation in this one, but taste is unfortnately dissapointing. Flavor is a little stale with hops initially, but finish is watery.

Bottle. Crispy caramel nose with nice earthy hops and light nuttiness. Deep amber pour with a soapy, yellow-tinged off-white head. Malty, slightly syrupy taste, caramel with herbal hops. Toffee with a touch of toast. Very, very crisp taste on a medium body. Not bad!

Sweet Malty aroma. One rater said it smells like corn. I can see why that person would say that. Nice dark golden color, a thin head that disappears. At first, it was overly carbonated, but they quickly went away. Sweet malt flavor, with a moderate bitter finish. Also, small alcohol overtones in the finish.

(Bottle) Actually, pretty dark. Not much head. Thin and cold tasting for this style, but otherwise, similar to what I would expect. Pretty balanced...some hops, some bitterness. Very refreshing, and yet not totally too thin. I actually really like this one.

Drank from the bottle while playing some disc golf today. Nose is sweet caramel corn, spicey hops, and a nice malt base. Flavor is sweet, and slightly bitter. Pretty good beer.
