Pours a clear amber brown on tap with dissipating tan head that leaves light lace. Aroma is biscuit and pale malts with a hint of earthy hops. Taste follows, clean and easy, but nothing all that exciting. Soft carbonation, creamier mouth.

on tap at Blue Blaze Pizza in Damascus; deep amber color; piney hop and caramel malt aroma; I thought I detected a little buttery note in the aroma, which thankfully did not appear in the flavor; a well balanced, medium bodied beer; caramel, bready malt with a good dose of piney hops
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 rangerred (989) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - DEC 11, 2011
Arrived a clear copper with a one finer light tan head. Decent lacing.
Aroma is earthy hops with a bit of caramel malt.
The taste is loaded with toffee and caramel from the malt with an earthy hop flavor coming in later. There is a moderate hoppy bitterness. The hoppiness is greater than I expected and is almost more like an APA.
Overall I think the balance between malt and hops was very good and I would definitely have this beer again.
