Average in the extreme!? Does that make sense? Anyway. Half-decent beer that takes you above horrid macro to the start of a very long journey to wonderful micro, but not very far along that path.

Pour is nicely balanced with good, deep orange color and a nice head with some retention. A very small amout of lacing adds to the visiual impact.

Mild caramel and sugar in the nose and taste, but also with some hop bitterness to even things out. Unusually dry finish brings the beer to a somehat abrupt end! Drinks and looks a little more like an APA than a Red/Amber.

Good stand-by and always should be chosen ahead of BMC, but not much else to endear it.
