On tap at the brewery into a pint glass.
Pours ½ finger of beige head. Color is a clear amber copper. Good head retention.
Aroma: Nuts and toasted malts up front. Some caramel and chocolate with some earthy hops.
Taste: Much hoppier than I was expecting. Tastes like a roasted imperial red. Caramel, toffee, nuts, and light chocolate mixed with grassy, earthy, floral hops.
Mouthfeel: Bitter and creamy. Medium bodied with a medium amount of carbonation. Ends sticky.
Overall, an interesting brown ale. Very hoppy. Kind of drinkable, but I was a bit surprised with this one.

Serving: 12 fl oz bottle (stamped "07/11/15") poured into a 7 oz Libbey Gibraltar glass; new "Ale Wagger" branding.
Appearance: Clear, medium brown with warm hues and a fizzy, foamy head of tan foam. Nice clumps of streaky lace:
Smell: Full nose of toasty malts, caramel, toffee, slight fruity esters.
Taste: More malt, caramel and slight roasted notes, along with fruit esters continue from the nose. Some leafy, earthy notes add balance, but leaning a bit sweet.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, almost becoming sticky; moderate but soft carbonation.
Overall: Very similar to SA's other mainstream ales. Fully, malty - just maybe a bit sweet to session.

Bottle at 3rd Bar Eating House, Houston Intercontinental Airport (Terminal B), Houston, TX
A: The beer is crystal clear brownish amber in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with just a few specks of bubbles on the surface.
S: Light aromas of nutty and brown malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste has some flavors of nutty malts and a little malty sweetness. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink, but it seems like it could use a little more in the way of malts.
