Poured into a clear tall glass. Has a clear, glowing amber/red color with about a finger tall of foam with good retention and lacing. Some floaters are present, medium-low carbonation.

Definitely some caramel and cracker malts upfront, notes of brown sugar, biscuit, grain, other bready malts, and other floral notes.

Cracker malt, bread malt, and subtle fruity malts upfront. Also grain.

I got this off the single shelf at a Kroger just down the road from south metro ice in Dayton,OH. It poured a clear amber with thin white head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had caramel malt presence. The taste is nicely balanced and easy to drink with caramel malt base. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall its a solid beer.

look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: Pours crystal clear and amber colored with a finger of foam and plenty of lacing action

Smell: Caramel and nectarine

Taste: Caramel and cracker malt forward, with a fruity character building; nectarine and earthy malt flavors through the middle, with the sweeter tones dominating the finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: It's an amber, what do you expect?

Thanks, SPLITGRIN, for the opportunity

Pours transparent amber in color. Not a lot of head retention. Smells biscuity and grainy with caramel malts around. The flavor follows suit with a bready, grainy backbone, something nutty, and a subtle hop presence that seems to fit well into the beer's flavor profile. Slightly watery for it's style, but overall, a pretty decent amber. No bells and whistles, but highly drinkable and something I wouldn't turn down.
