Pours clear. Brown with red hue. Head quickly fades to reasonable lace. Did not notice hop aroma, possibly due to my lingering cold. Roasty malt flavor at first with a quick transition to clean bitterness. I was trying to find a “band-aidy” flavor. Maybe I imagined it there between the malt and the hop. If anything, there was a herbal quality to the hop flavor.

Nice combination of roasted barley and hops. I’ve had worse phenolic flavors, surely.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle.
