On-tap 9/24/2010 at Track 84 in Warwick, RI, served in a US tumbler pint glass.

A: The beer is a deep golden brown color, with a short off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma is faint but contains caramelized malts, a little bit of hops and a touch of fruit.

T: The taste starts out bready with a hearty malt character followed by mildly sweet flavors of caramel and a little bit of fruit. Then there's a touch of smokiness that comes in. The hops presence is mild but quite complementary and creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly bready and slightly sweet.

M: Crisp and very smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is clean.

D: Tasty, goes down very easily, not too filling, mild kick, good representation of style while adding a nice twist, this is a very good poundable beer that is worth drinking for a very long time.
