A: Pours a clear amber with a one-finger off-white head that leaves fair lacing.
S: They serve this too cold, and the nose suffers. After this warmed up a bit, there is a good amount of biscuit malt and citrus hops.
T: Very nice. The front is sweet and malty, but the pine and citrus rush in to balance just after the center. The finish is briskly bitter with a good citrus hop aftertaste.
M: Lighter than I would have expected from the nose and taste, but not too watery. Brisk carbonation, bordering on too much.
D: Very sessionable.

"A light to mid-bodied malty amber with a crisp hop finish"
Stringy lace; very light haze to the brew; amber color
Surprisingly, there's nearly no smell--first words that come to mind--watery
Classic malty start to this amber. The swallow is a generous wallop of hop bitterness leaving a lingering bitter aftertaste. The body is as one would expect both in body and carbonation. A pretty standard, but good, Amber offering.
