16oz draft pour into a pint glass. A new copper colored body floats little to no head, just an off white cap with lacing.
Aromas are diminated by a subtle bready malt.
Malt flavors are joined by light caramel and slight hops.
Clean mouthfeel lacks the creaminess I expected. Not quite to style, but it's good.
