Had on tap at Gloria's in Moab, UT

On arrival 1 finger of just off white thick head was present that recedes over ~10mins. Very nice lacing forms off the first sip. Body is almost clear and is a dark reddish brown amber.

Aroma is light, verging on crispy, but with some light caramel malt sweetness and a hint of fermentation. Aroma is mostly light though.

Taste is again light, but less so than the aroma. A sweet bready as well as caramel nuttiness. Not super sweet as it is pretty dry.

Feel is drinkable and actually pretty refreshing. Dry and light, but fuller bodied than an amber lager. Medium short finish.

Overall this is a decent beer, and for a $5 draft is right where the price should cap out at, but there also aren't complaints. Definitely a sessionable pub beer. A good amber, but flavor and Aroma are a bit light.

Tasted on tap at a BBQ restaurant in Layton, UT. I was hoping for something malty to complement and tamp down some spicy BBQ sauce. Unfortunately, I found this beer thin, fizzy and mostly tasteless, at least in the face of some hearty food. No malt character to speak of and hops are at a low level as well. Inoffensive, but not much to recommend it, either.

On tap at the SLC airport. Clear red brown, minimal head. Smells of a typical amber, toasty malt. Taste follows but there’s a watery vibe that diminishes the taste. Light feel, overall good.

At Squatters Pub SLC gate C3 - try it. If you look to tasty brews with clean finishes and low ABVs come to SLC. $0.49 shots!
a) perfect lace and color.
s) Too faint caramelized malt, fall orchard, apples and red ale hops.
t) Reminds me of red tail my first craft love in the 90s in Mendicino. The taste is malty & sweet, light, with caramel & apples. To the sweet side but cleaned up by the nice hops finish,.
f) Medium body and carbonation, clean finish. Session beer, Wanted more than a taste.
o) Home run for session red ale.
