On tap at Main Street Brewery in Corona, CA.

Pours a clear dark copper with a foamy bone head that settles to tiny dots of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt and caramel aromas. Taste is much the same with malt and caramel flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an above average beer that is drinkable but nothing special.

Reddish chestnut (I promised myself I wouldn't say brown!) appearance with a thin wispy foam cap. Nose is lightly roasted malt with a gentle, yeasty backdrop. Clarity is excellent and reveals multiple CO² streamers emanating from the bottom of the glass.

The clean entry of this brew is supported with a nice roasty medly during the midtaste. This is a nice mild (read: safe) brown for those who may feel that Reds run a little malt-heavy for their palates.

The finish is a nice slow malt fade that adheres to the back of the tongue. Mouthfeel is a tad thin, making this a perfect gateway beer for the craft beginner.
