3.55/5 rDev -1.9%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

Clear amber-orange colour, one finger of white head and a bit of lace as well. Smell is of toasty biscuity malt, bit of hop in the way of an earthy floralness, light citrus, fairly clean and well integrated nose here. Taste is of biscuity grains, lemony with a light earthy hop bitterness, some toasted caramel with a bit of a grassy finish. Medium carbonation, decent medium body, medium full feel. Solid drinking beer though unremarkable, something that can be consumed in large quantities with ease.

3.48/5 rDev -3.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Serving Type - Bottle

Appearance - Copper tan/brown, Creamy 2 inch foamy head and tons of lacing.

Smell - Amber malts, caramel, added sugars, Some mild hops, bready/biscuit nose.

Taste - Pretty much right on flavor for a standard amber ale, malts are biscuit and caramel. Light floral hops add some minor bitter/dryness. Some added sugars and spices add some flavor.

Mouthfeel - Light malts coat the tongue along with some spices. Palate gets some sugars and more malts. The finish is weak and dry. The aftertaste is malty and a little hoppy.

Overall - Decent, very light, mild flavored, a good summer beer, or a great alternative to coors, or bud. The price is excellent, 7.99$ a 6'er. Nothing special, just a soild easy to drink beer.
