Maltier and less bitter than an American pale ale, this true session ale is all about balance.

On tap at the brewpub. Golden yellow with nice soapy white head. Significant aromatic hop. Lacing was prevalent as I drank it. Not a great finish. Rather thinish, the hop flavour took it only so far. Weaker part of lineup, an experimental batch to try again.

L - dark brown, not quite black. Ever-so-slightly off-white head that dissipates quickly.
S & T - slight roast, nicely bitter, but the forefront is dominated by something you might not be able to place quite that easily. A strange, not unpleasant fruity sweet-sour taste. I found it tasted a bit like overripe kiwi, the ones that get almost starchy and strangely sour-sweet that makes you go 'this is probably way too ripe to be enjoyed, but I still kinda strangely like it'.
F - nothing of note. Just a nice, light, low-ABV beer that still manages to be very flavorful.

O - a very fun tasting experience. This is one of those beers that inspires discussion (and division) about the taste even amongst die-hard dark beer lovers. It has that strange overripe kiwi-note (or at least, that's what it tasted like *to me*) that's not wholly unpleasant, but probably not for everyone.

I recommend it.

On tap at American Flatbread Burlington. Clear orange. Smells of bready malts, a little caramel, and some earthy hops. Tastes of earthy hops that turn to bitterness immediately. Bitter throughout. A little bit of bready malt. Slick mouthfeel. Solid bitter.
