Clear, bright yellow golden colour with a small white head, aroma of compote, citrus; balanced flavor with a long, medium bitter finish; somewhat smooth palate

Clear gold with a rich white head. Sweet Mandarin and some sticky notes. Sweet Mandarin notes, sticky and sweet. Not my thing.

Re-rate. Poured from 473mL can. Clear light gold with small near white head. Bready malt with mild pine hops, some underlying sweetness and an alcohol kick. Still not a fan... July 09, 2018 (6/3/5/2/11=2.7): Poured from the tap at the taproom. Mostly clear orangey yellow with white head. Very mild fruity grass hops with some bready malt. Pretty underwhelming.

2020-12-14, can from The Gull, North Vancouver, 8.5% ABV, 7-4-8-4-17=40
Blond to golden colour, slight haze. Excellent piney hops, with a delicate malt base, moderate residual sugars, and bold bitterness.
Huge improvement!

Hazy light amber color. The aroma is fruity, some strawberry, candy, candied pineapple; weird but not bad. Mellow, sweetish, not cloying; some cereally malts, but also too much vegetables, so I suspect the fermentation didn't work very well here, and the final has some chicory bitterness and too much alcohol.
Not very good, but not a disaster.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy dark golden with a small white head. Aroma is very herbal, with skunky and grassy hops, some diacetyl, and dry caramel bready malt. Flavour is quite herbal and skunky, with herbal and grassy hops, bready malt, and some astringent hoppy finish. Herbal, bready, stale and bitter finish. Not bad, but it's very flawed. --- Beer merged from original tick of Reckless Abandon on 13 Sep 2016 at 20:05 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 3 | Flavor - 3 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 2.5.

Kind of a murky light tan/brown. A few bubbles but otherwise not a lot of head. There is some fruity hop, old school c-hop stuff, with a chewy malt character. The palate has diacetyl, berryish hops, and again it is quite chewy. So maybe not the best execution on this one.

22oz bottle pours a dark orange with some clumpy, white head. Nose has pine, orange, honey, soap, grass. Flavor is chewy with malt, honey, heavy grapefruit, orange, pine. Bitter and sticky on the finish.

Bottle at the July DC tasting. Poured a deep orange color with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma was lots of floral notes, light juicy notes. Flavor had plenty of citrus and bitter grapefruit character to it. Slight booze finish to it.
