The beer poured a dark amber, almost brown with hints of red. The beer produced a nice, foamy, off-white head, maybe a finger and a half, and had some decent retention but faded and left no cap to speak of. When the beer is held up to light, there are noticeable yeast particles floating in the beer.

The aroma of the beer is nice, malty with hint of biscuits and caramel.

The taste is a malt bomb...super malty with some hints of biscuit. It was so malty that I had a tough time distinguishing any of flavors. While I like and can appreciate malty beers (Reds and Marzens) but this was a little overpowering for my taste.

The beer had a medium body to it and good carbonation. Overall, the beer was good and defiantly worthy of another try, but I think that the beer could be better balanced.

A: The beer is slightly hazy amber orange in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation along with some fine particles visible floating in suspension. It poured with a half finger high beige head that died down, consistently leaving a thin head covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of caramel malts are present in the nose along with some hints of fruity yeast.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste has a mixture of caramel malts and fruity yeast flavors as well as some bits of earthy hops. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels a bit shy of medium-bodied, slightly thin and a little smooth on the palate with a low to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink—especially given its lighter body—but nothing really stands out in the taste except for the fruity yeast.
