Light citrus and decent malt. Pleasant if nothing special like a warm bath. Golden pour with decent head. Bitter and tangy finish. Tap at brewpub.

Sample pours a clear dark orange with some lacing, soapy head. Nose has butterscotch, some soap, crystal malt, yeasty dough. Sadly, flavor follows lots of yeast and buttered bread, some lemon rind or soap. Breaks more than a standard bitter than an IPA. Not their best.
