Thirsty Pagan Brewing

4.2-4.8% ABV
OG?
IBUs?
Sampled at the brewpub in pint glass on September 26, 2010.

Appearance 1/5
Murky dirty brown with no head and no lacing, in spite of swirling it from time to time. Just awful!

Aroma 3/5
Some sweet malts, some roast.

Taste 3/5
Nice roast and some maltiness. Pretty unoffensive, and good for an ale (?) of this size. No hop flavor. Some sweetness in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel 3/5
Medium body, medium carbonation, medium finish.

Drinkability 4/5
Good, but I didn't find any reason to order more, even though it's pretty low ABV. Also, it looks very uninviting, which is a deterrent.
