A vigorous pour into a pint glass yielded a couple of inches of light tan head. It is orange/brown in color. It has a sour smell to it. It reminds me of a hefeweizen that is bad. It also has sweet toffee malt smell. It has an off flavor compared to my past expiiences with this style. It is initially tart but gives way to a sweet malt finish that is very clean. This beer is not at all what I expect out of an AWA.
Cheers!

Sits in the glass looking like an amber ale with a deep hazy amber colored body. It is about the color of apple butter. Head is a solid inch of very light tan head that fades in minutes and leaves a solid wall of lace. Nose is slightly fruity with lots of candy like sweetness and some yeasty tones. With first sip you get a moderate tartness up front but this quickly fades to a body of thin crispness that is far more hollow feel then I was hoping for. The flavor profile stretches to find yeasty fruit esters. It is a weak palate overall. A bit flat and thin on the mouthfeel. This beer is drinkable but quite boring.
