16 ounce pint - $5.50 at Taco Mac in Canton, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours a clear and coppery and a 1/6-inch head comprised of off-white fizz.

Smell: Sweetish scent, smelling of sugar-sprinkled biscuits, toasted grains, and a sufficient level of hazelnut fragrance.

Taste: All the amber ale-type maltiness, with tastes of toasted biscuits, light caramel, maybe a bit of sugar cookie. And, yes, there's the promised background hint from the hazelnut inclusion. Spicy, lightly earthy hops with a mild bitterness. Sweetish, nutty finish that's certainly crisp and dries out at the very last second.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Decidedly crisp mouthfeel.

Overall: If you don't mind a basic ale and the taste of hazelnut, then this could work for you. It worked well enough for me, however, I'm sorry to see it did not work for emmasdad.

Had this one a week and a half ago on tap at the brewery in Fort Collins. Poured a medium orange color with a medium tan head. Aromas of hazelnuts and chocolate and a little malt. Light bodied and decent, with flavors of chocolate and hazelnut (nutella-ish).
