The first impression when drinking this amber-brown ale is a malty nose with subdued hops aroma. The flavor is soft malt that may have a touch of smokiness and toastiness. The use of roasted barley brings out a soft, complex background. Hops bitterness is quite low, just enough to balance out the malts. With an original gravity of only 1.030 to 1.035, these are truly session beers.
