Poured a clear copper/amber color with a tall foamy tan head. The head was very slow to go down and left good lacing throughout the glass. The beer looked very nice in the glass. There was a nice earthy malty aroma with a subtle bit of hops to. The taste was on the dry side and nicely crisp. There was a little bit of a hop bite, but overall generally mild. A good drinking beer clean, crisp and refreshing

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear dark brown color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a dry bitter texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with a smoot toasted bitter finish of average duration. Solid drinkable flavorful brew.

Bottle. Pours a ruby colour with good off-white creamy head and very good lace. Aroma hinted of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, aromatic hops, lemongrass, and grape. Good balance on the palate between sweet lush malt and mild bitter hops. Dry and lingering bitterness on finish with an undertone of sweet spice.
