Notes:
This ale is the first brewed in Kansas since pioneering days. The name "Ad Astra comes from the Kansas State Motto - Ad Astra per Aspera, Latin words meaning "To the Stars through Difficulties". We've blended Pale, Caramel, and Munich malts for a rich amber beer. The hops balance this malty sweetness, and we've chosen Northern brewer and Fuggles hops for their flavor.

Poured from a bottle into a glass.
Pours a nut brown with no lacing, and barely a head. Nothing amazing here, but doesn't look nasty.
Smells of malt, molasses slightly, nutty tones.
The malts make a good display here, with rich nutty sugary flavors. Maybe a little light roast coffee. Slightly bitter from the hops.
Mouthfeel is average. Drinkability is wonderful.

12oz bottle poured into a Sam Adams pint glass
A: Pours a reddish brown caramel with a small foamy cap that quickly settles down. Faint lacings on the glass
S: Fresh beer with a nice scent of hops. Very appealing.
T: Fresh smooth start with a hint of spice finish.
M: Medium to medium light body with small bit of carbonation
O: A nice , drinkable beer that would be great on a hot day. A nice well crafted beer.
