The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

◎ Appearance

George presents a deep amber to brown hue, characteristic of the style at SRM 21. The beer displays good clarity with a modest tan head that settles to a thin collar, showing moderate lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual texture to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain notes underpinned by a subtle cocoa character. Centennial and Cascade hops contribute a restrained citrus backdrop—orange zest and gentle floral herbal tones—without overwhelming the malt foundation. A touch of Columbus provides a grounding spice that ties the aromatic profile together.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with clean roasted malt flavors and a smooth chocolate undertone that develops mid-palate. Citrusy hop character from Cascade emerges alongside a restrained bitterness—the 30 IBU register as measured and integrated rather than assertive. Hints of toasted caramel and dark fruit round out the middle, with mild tannin grip from the roasted base.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, fading through residual hop bitterness and a lingering cocoa-tinged dryness. Aftertaste remains clean with a slight astringent edge from the roast, encouraging another sip without becoming harsh.
