Amber and bright. A fair bit of caramel sweetness, I’d say pushing the limits. Touch of bitterness and a clean sweet finish. Would like more rich bread if it’s going to be this sweet.

Tap @ Beer Temple, sample size. Clear amber/orange color. Rather dense, off white head. Aroma’s of red fruit, caramel malts. Retronasal there’s toasted grain, aromatic hops, caramel. Flavor is fruity, malty, only lightly sweet. Light to medium bodied. Finishes with malt/grain, slightly dry and moderate bitter. I quite liked this.

Medium copper. Toasty malt, fruity, a bit of earth and then back to the sweet fruit. Decent. Could use a cleaner profile, but solid anyhow b

Keg at the North Park tasting room, SD, 15/11/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is caramel, tangy fruit, light spice, malt. Taste comprises straw, bitter orange, spice, caramel, sweet licks, toffee apple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So very so, no balance, too sweet.
