A 14oz 'pint' at the Oliver location.

This beer appears a clear, medium bronzed amber hue, with one finger of weakly foamy, mostly bubbly beige head, which leaves some decent hanging webbed lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of lightly roasted caramel malt, burnt toast, a mild oily nuttiness, subdued blended citrus bitterness, a bit of stony hard water, and musty, leafy hops. The taste is biscuity, bready caramel malt, a lot less toasty than in the nose, mildly astringent orange and lemon pith, a touch of wet ash, washed out fleshy nuts, a suggestion of earthy yeast, and dusty leafy hops.

The carbonation is nice and zingy, and equally supportive, the body on the lee side of medium weight, and a bit metallic in its otherwise unassailed smoothness. It finishes on a strong drying kick, the biscuity nuttiness carrying on.

A pleasantly complex amber ale, balanced for the most part, far above the simple sweet messes of the norm. I don't know who this Aaron is, but he can be more or less proud to have his name attached to this offering.
