Poured with a chill haze. Foam was medium bubbled and white. Retention was about average with the foam becoming a touch frothier. Lacing - none.
Aroma is caramel malt with a bit of resinous hops (the beer is about six months old). There is a grainy malt hidden there too that seems to dominate at times.
Taste is caramel and grain malt with a transition of slight bitterness on the end.
Medium body with a pretty crisp carbonation that spiked the middle of the tongue.
I have to admit that I had been putting off tasting this beer for some time as the online reviews of it are not stellar. Still, I try to give a beer a benefit of doubt. There is no reason to, this isn't that good of a beer. You aren't missing anything here. Enjoy!
