  • Pours clear with two inches of fluffy, yet thick, off-white foam. Retention is about average at best while lacing is minimal, if at all. Sort of a typical pour for an amber.

    Aroma is mostly sweet, caramel malt with a hop profile that mostly seems like lemon grass and some floral notes. Sort of a clean sense to the nose.

    Taste is a bit of hops up front before the malt really takes control; the hops do show up again in the finish, but are mild and not really bold or bitter. The malt really gets going in the middle and builds throughout the rest of the taste. Sweetness on top of caramel malts, but it seems like some darker caramel malts might have been used to give almost a sense of toffee too.

    Medium body with a back loaded carbonation that is light over all. The front-end seems to have a bit of creaminess actually.

    In spite of the ABV, this beer makes you want more and more. Maybe too sweet for some but there is enough hops to wrangle it up and make it a crisp, refreshing beer. It is an amber, so I find that category to be a wide range, this fits the bill and is tasty to boot. Enjoy!
