Drought. Amber color with creamy beige small head, light doughy aroma, low carbonation, slightly bitter hoppy taste, long finish. Nice but not great.

12oz bottle pours a clear orange with some thin, creamy, white head. Nose has some malt, orange, roasted root veg, some dried leaves, some chewy bread. Flavor is very similar, a little bit of honey, malt, orange, some carrot, bread. Medium bodied, crisp finish. Straight forward, but decent.

Served on draft at Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy copper-orange with a medium sized creamy offwhite head. Decent head retention. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts and a faint bitter hop finish. The taste is toasted malts, nutty notes, spices and caramel. Faint hops in the finish. Medium bodied.
