From draft at Swiftwater. Pours an amber color with some haze. Lots of toasted malt notes on the nose and palate. A bit of an odd finish that seemed a bit chemical; odd.

On tap at Swiftwater Brewing in Rochester, NY.

This one pours a slightly murky golden brown color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like toasted bread, caramel, citrus, some tea, and floral hops.

This maybe feels a little bit sweet for the style, but the malt character is definitely tasty here, with caramel and a nice toasty bread character. There's a little bit of floral and slightly sweet hop character.

This is medium bodied, a bit slick, but very drinkable.

This was pretty tasty, but I'd prefer a touch more dryness on the back end.

Little more malty and less crisp. Not as bitter. But a great late winter/early spring sipper.
