Samples at the Triumph. Pours amber hue with a lively carbonation. Aroma is of cherry, caramel malt, and citrusy hops. The body is medium and quite smooth.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at brewpub. Pours a hazy amber color with a thick off white head. Aroma is all roasted malt with a touch of chocolate and a wood aroma. Taste is sweet citrus hops, orange and grapefruit. The earthy hoppiness leaves an oily residue and a malty, wheaty aftertaste. The alcohol comes through just a hint as it warms. A well-balanced amber, sessionable brew.
