Burnished is toasty with notes of caramel and cherry, and a smooth, satisfying texture.
A unique yeast culture creates cherry-like flavors to complement the malty toastiness of this delicious pub ale.

Appearance: Nearly opaque Carmel color
Nose: Sweet yeasty, dark fruit and honey
Taste: simple sweet malty flavor with hint of clover out front with a very nice bitterness on the finish. The first sip didn't blow me away but the bitterness on the finish was excellent.
Overall: pretty standard amber, nothing really sets it apart but it is a solid above average offering.

New brewery for me. Can date 8-25.
Tan and amber label, a female hand holding a horseshoe above the logo, an arched framed stair leading up into a 3 starred night sky.
Clear,deep amber in color, low, white head, trails of faint lace.
Aroma is slightly sour at first, which leads to a tart cherry nose with hints of honey and floral yeast esters. Interesting if maybe past it's "best by" date at only 5 months.
The flavor is rich and sweet with more cherry and honey character. British Bitter flavor but a bit bigger with pine and leather hop bitterness on the finish.
Body is light+, highly quaff-able with hop pepper cherry jam aftertaste.
