A generous two-finger head of slightly off-white foam slowly sinks in to light transparent apple-juice colored liquid. A light hops scent arises from the glass more noticeably than from the bottle. An unexpected hint of sweet roundness is present with just of astringency left on the front of the tongue. It's a hot night with spicy food, and I wish I had some more of this.

Pours a slightly hazy golden with minimal head resolving to thin lacing.
Smell is sweet honey malt.
Taste is grassy and a little earthy. Followed by a faint citrus flavor and some light caramel.

I got a bottle of this off the single shelf from a beer store in La Crosse, Wisconsin. It poured a clear golden with no head and no lace. The scent had faint grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle malt base and hop finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

This is my favorite beer hands down. I am a big fan of amber/darker beers, and although this isn't either, it's definitely my favorite. I'm lucky enough to live close to the brewery so most stores carry this around here.

Came across better in the taproom. Picked up this six-pack at a gas station outside of town. Maybe should've not been lazy and picked up some when I was at the brewery the day before. The difference that I noticed was sort of creamed corn flavor and aroma, but it's still pretty drinkable.
