Collaboration with the band O.A.R. Enjoy by 10/1/19. 16oz can poured into a tulip. Pours an auburn/amber with great clarity and transparency with bubbles racing upwards; small light khaki head that fades leaving nice retention and lacing. The aromas are malt forward. Some caramel and toast. The flavors follow the nose. More caramel and toast. Mild hints of rye and black pepper. Moderate to low bitterness. Malts do their thing without dominating. Finishes dry. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is very nice. It's on the fuller side of light-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, slightly fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a solid brew. It's not flashy, but it's not supposed to be. It's simply a classic and traditional example of the style. It's very clean stuff. The craftsmanship is on point. Well done.
