Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow almost copper color with a slight translucent sort of coloring and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet orange, some papaya and mango sweetness and notes of sweet piney hops; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to slightly bitter character; finishes semi-dry with a pop of the mango to papaya sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness with a little bit of a hop bitterness edge to it - but nothing bothersome; good semi-low carb
Overall: aromas seem to lean more towards the sweet side while the flavors start gravitating more towards the bitter side as the beer warms; while this beer wasn't bad to me, I do believe there's a couple things that could be changed to make this better.
