Delicious, malty ale with a hint of caramel and a peppery hop finish.

From a tall can, this beer is a clear brownish amber in color with a slim head. The aroma is malty, with an underlying malt note. The flavor is of a throwback amber...balanced, flavorful, and rich. Well made, drinkable, and worthwhile.

16oz can. Poured out a clear amber color with ruby highlights a a small, white head of foam. It smelled of caramel, grassy hops and floral notes. Tasted of toasted caramel maltiness with a grassy hop bite.

Not a bad brew. Some of the other beers put out by this brewery just missed the mark completely, but I would pick this up if I was in town again. Nice and light, but with a malty sweetness. I've noticed their beers tend to be light on the palate, never feeling heavy by any means, and that makes for more refreshing brews, but less interesting.
