Beer is a creative cultural response to an agricultural surplus. This beer pays homage to two of those farmhouse traditions. Pouring amber like a setting sun over a field of barley and redolent of sweet spice and orange citrus. This beer is a worthy companion to contemplate the harvest that was.

Foam is off-white, bronze tan. The colour is orange amber, together with the nose, it suggests spiced fruit toast. On the nose, is an alluring spicy maltiness, suggested of dried fruit and sweet spices—think cinnamon—also some paddlepop and bubblegum; together with hints of bright citrus baked in.

The mouthfeel is lean yet decadent; it embraces without smothering. The taste corroborates the nose—spicy fruit cake, warming maltiness, baked goods, an earthy, woodsy, restraining bitterness, cooked citrus and orange. It fishes quite snappy, spicy gentle bitterness and warm lean maltiness.
