This ale is not dissimilar to GS's amber, but with the inclusion of hops and a soft white head. It is polished oak with refined clarity and a chewy mouthfeel fed by near absent carbonation. The aroma is appealingly sweet with an earthen mustiness and a touch of pencil shaving. The taste is that of a balanced American ale with a delayed finish of fine ash. Very workable.

Best GS beer of my first session, and one I'd eagerly return to.
