I had a pint of this out of a growler sized bottle last night at a birthday thing for Jadyn's roommate. I didn't take notes, and this is from memory, but I'll do my best.

It poured a clear amber with a sudsy beige head that sticks around. The aromas are malty and hoppy. The palate is the same, with lightly sweet bready and toasty malts upfront followed by a nice hoppy bitterness that lingers in the finish. I remember thinking the beer felt a bit thin. Overall a very drinkable beer, nicely balanced and flavorful.
