Dark amber with an expected haze. Starts with a finger thick head leaving some decent chunky lace. Steve

This has a very malt forward smell. Sweet caramel with a bit of moderate toast. Really light, attractive floral hop.

The taste mimics TBA smell but with far more sweetness than I expected. The finish, while sweet, has a nice counterbalance of subtle bitterness. The body and carbonation are rather neutral. The swallow is balanced but the aftertaste leans bittersweet.

Limited MA release.

Poured from a keg. Served in a tulip.

Dark reddish colors when held to the light.

Aroma is light with hints of citrus and honey.

Rich sweet pallet with enough malt to balance out the hops. Hit the middle of the mouth with a nice sweetness. Hops character lingers on the tongue with a pleasant bitterness.
