Bottled. Orangey pour. Clean citrus and piney hops and malts. Best effort from spoetzel in awhile.

Bottle. Amber is color, decent head and nice lace. Aroma is citrus, with some hints of floral. Taste is citrus, oh so slight candy corn and toast. Finish is metallic.

Pours gold into a shaker. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Sour earth aromas. Thick with sour malt and toasted nuts front to back. Blech.

dark orange 1 finger consistent head that never fades. the nose is really interesting. like fresh pineapple and a little lactic acidity. taste though falls short. mild cream, some orange, pineapple and something else. a little yeasty and light tartness.

Purchased in Vermont, part of their tester mixed-pack. Pours a clean golden-amber colour with a warm creamy cap, good retention and lots of sticky lacing. Malty nose with biscuit, fruity malts, mild caramel, yeast and hints of bananas. Flavours of light roasted malts, bread and again, banana notes. Smooth mouthfeel. One of their better brews so far.

Barely perceptible aroma of orange peel. Hazy copper, thick lacy head. Tea with a hint of meringue at midpalate. Weak.

Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a decent sized but short lived off white head. Aromas of bread and light caramel maltiness with hints of fruit and earthy hops. The flavor holds more earthy hop flavor than the aroma suggested backed up by a solid bready caramel malt base and lots of sugary fruitiness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Decent pale ale, but kind of middle of the road. Nothing flawed, but a bit boring.

Bottle - Caramel malts. Clear dark copper with a nice beige head. Sweet watery caramel and light orange hops. A very mild APA, to the point I think it may be poorly classified. Much too sweet.

12oz bottle pours with a crystal clear deep copper body that has thin gold edges and supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up malts and a thin layer of sweet alderwood bacony smokiness. I wasn’t expecting that. Hmm. I get a little bit of red apple in the background but I’m failing to find any hops. After a while that odd bacon note drifted off. The taste starts with malt sweetness and ripe crisp red apple slices before a mild smoky bacon note surfaces. Maybe it is the esters and the floral to earthy almost tea hoppiness that create a bacon sort of note. Strange experience. A few more sips and fruity hops and a drying biscuit maltiness are noticed amid everything else.
