12 oz. Bottle: Transparent brown with a light tan head which is mostly diminishing. Aromas of faint malt and some spice. Flavor is surprisingly nutty and slightly hoppy.

Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aroma was really malty with no signs of anything else. Flavor was much the same, really bland, typical bitter

Taste 9/8 Bottle(date is gibberish) Looks: Dark copper with a clinging and disappearing head. Body is fairly active. Aroma: Smells of biscuit and various malts. Taste: Biscuit and sour with some dark and sweet malt. Bitter finish. A little floral hops.

12oz bottle: Crystal clear amber pour with a healthy, foam inducing white head. A soft balance of creamy caramel and fruity hops meet the nose. Nothing over the top, nicely balanced, clean and approachable. The fruity hops are more defined on the palate, offering an array of sweet apple, candied orange and floral perfume. A moderate dose of buttery malts balance. Things are a bit muddled, but fit the style. An easy drinker that is well built, but nothing too special.

This beer pours a dark brown/light red with a thin head. I gotta say, for the money this beer is quite the beer! Not an awesome beer, but at $12 a sixer it is a great deal! Cheers!
