Appearance: deep amber with some shiny copper highlights when held to the light. The tan head was plentiful and the lacing on the glass is heavy.
Aroma: sweet malts and grains, with a moderate hoppy note.
Flavors: a mix of golden and fancy raisins, a soft pine, sweet grains, a hint of nuttiness maybe fresh pecan. It seems fairly simple overall.
Mouthfeel: surprisingly smooth, a touch of a water edge, not much on any lingering notes.
To the Point: Not bad. I would give it a B-.
