Sample from Studio Track #2014-03 at the taproom. Reddish-amber color with a medium light beige head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel and fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of roast malt, caramel and mild grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap @ Black Shirt. Pours a dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Floral, bitter hoppy, caramel, slight citrusy aroma. Goopy sweet caramel malty flavor that finishes very floral and bitter. Not good.

Simultaneously too sweet and too bitter - sharp acidity throughout - a lot of sugary sweet malt flavor, light esters - hops are peppery, bitterness is astringent - hops are peppery and mildly earthy - overall very one dimensional - kind of meh.
