look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5

Brewed with pale, Caramunich, and Munich malts. Hopped with Perle and Cascade.

The beer had a clear amber body, with a thin layer of head that persisted as I drank.

Aroma was sweet and slightly floral, but heavy on butterscotch. Diacetyl was prominent.

Taste was hoppy and buttery, with mild malts and notes of caramel. Again, prominent diacetyl.

Mouthfeel was a little thin, but also somewhat oily. Not a great combination.

Drinkability... not for me. If I had wanted that much butter flavor, I'd have gone for movie theater popcorn.

Serving type: on-tap
