Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours an appropriately cloudy caramel amber with a thin white head that dissipates to a thin film and ring around the glass; no lacing. Mild aroma of biscuit malt and grassy hops. Flavor follows aroma with light biscuit malt, grassy hops, yeast and faint fruit. Finishes with slight hops and malt. Light bodied. Mild mannered. Flavors are subdued, but pleasant.

Poured from 500mL bottle into a pint glass.

Appearance: rich golden hue with a moderate haze, relatively strong effervescence, and a decent population of tiny floaties in the body. Head poured a thick finger of frothy white foam but subsided pretty quickly. Not too bad.

Smell: sweet malt aroma with a bit of a tangy graininess. Style-appropriate and pretty balanced, if a bit on the sweet side.

Taste: this beer starts off seeming not so sweet, but the sweetness kind of builds on the palate. Lightly malty with a hint of noble hops and a light bitterness toward the end. Balanced, and decent enough.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with an appealing, well-integrated carbonation. This beer is deceptively creamy! I like it.

Overall: this is a seriously drinkable beer. It may not be the most exciting beer in the world, but damn it if I don't want to keep quaffing the stuff.
