After a very long and rainy drive I'm finally in Texas. Of course there's a beer ready for me when I got here. This is a beer that we're sharing between me and my daughter and son-in-law. Clear color, reddish brown. Malty amber characteristics with hints of maple and spice. Not a powerful beer. It's good but I would have liked the Maple and spice to have been a little more prominent. Still, if you're looking for a breakfast beer, this fits.
