On tap at the brewery.

This beer has a nice amber color to it, and is fairly clear looking. There's a touch of a white head on tap.
There's not much to the aroma. I am getting a fai t malt hint.
Taste: it is malty for sure. Getting a hint of bread in here. Some caramel notes. The star of the show is the bitterness. It is pleasing and long lasting.
That feeling from the bitterness just clings in my throat, and doesn't let go.
This is a good beer. I wish the aroma were more, but happy with the flavor.

Nice dark amber color with a taproom finger of head. Some spotty lacing is left down the glass.

Good malty aroma of caramel and toffee. The hops give an earthy and herbal element.

Starts off with a good malt foundation and supporting hoppiness but something with the yeast fermentation was not executed successfully. A bit astringent as a result.

Solid body and carbonation which seems common to this breweries beer.

This was my favorite of the beers they had available during my visit.
