What Our Editors Thought
Whisper-quiet nose with faint bread crust and vague fruity esters. The sip stays low-key, eschewing character for broad drinkability. The result is nothing—a beer that isn't trying to be anything and succeeds at its goal.
What Our Panel Thought
Pleasant nose, as light caramel and biscuit blend with light citrus-dank hops and soft perfume esters. Piney hops step forward in flavor, balanced by backdrop of biscuit, caramel, and bread-crust malt. Drier finish, smooth aftertaste. Hits the marks but lacks that "wow" factor.
What the Brewers Say
This deep, complex, malt-forward amber ale has notes of gooseberries, black currant, and a pleasant hop aroma.
