Poured from a crowler -- nice soft amber body but no substantial head; just a patchy wisp of foam on top of the beer. Fruity aroma, somewhat like an apple. The taste also tastes of a ripe, juicy Jonathan apple; mildly sweet; very faint bitterness. Medium body; flat and watery.

I really want to like new breweries and certainly wish anyone trying to break into the business success, but this third offering I've tried is the weakest of the lot. For a basic cream ale not to have a head and a bland, watery taste with little to suggest Colorado honey or flaked maize (but perhaps that was the combo that produced the sweet apple aroma/flavor), well, I hope thing improve quickly with time. I only got through half of my glass, then the rest (along with the remains in the crowler) went down the drain.
