Microbrewery beer, so it's a bit unpolished and carries a bit of cloudiness and some fairly chunky sediment. But, this is a very good darkish amber ale. Nutty and malt aromas carry through into the core flavours in a deep, but balanced fashion. The aftertaste carries some zingy hop bite, but not excessively so. This beer proves that micro-breweries can create ales that compete and outdo some equivalent beets by the 'big boys.' In some ways, this beer reminds me of Old Speckled Hen, but without the insipid qualities; to my taste buds, it's a much authentic, earthy and satisfying drink.
