Lightly hazy amber beer, good off white head. Palate is light and a little crispy. Semi dry. Light bretty - seltzer minerals. Tangerine and a little lactose. Whisper of caramel and candied fruits. Finishes semi dry. Nice flavour profile.

750mL bottle, sent from LateStart (thanks Jordan), pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of iced tea, some earthy notes, and a little sweetness. Flavour brings out notes of iced tea, earthy hops, a little sweetness and some light alcohol notes. Quite full-bodied and flavourful for a cream ale, with all notes in harmony. Very enjoyable for a style I'm not usually fond of.

Bottle. Very light tangerine and alcohol aroma, but not much else. Cloudy amber with a large off-white head, thick lacing. Weird bittersweet malt flavor. Medium body. After repeated disappointment with Cigar City, I think I’m done trying their beers.

Bottle. Light tangerine and alcohol aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with larger off-white head. Sweet orange malt and bitter orange peel and alcohol flavor. Not horrible but nothing here that I particularly enjoy.

Sample at the tap room. The beer pours a clear orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma is biscuit malt, fruit and honey. Medium body with a sweet honey malt character and notes of citrus and caramel. The finish is bready malt and vanilla. Decent beer overall.

Entering old-rates. Couleur orange-ambre, col épais blanc. Nez fruité houblonné bien malté et restant doux. En bouche, une bière traitre par sa facilité à boire, mais les 9% arrive bien discrètement. Palais est doux voire crémeux le tout accompagner d’une belle dose de citron et agrumes laissant une fine amertume qui est compensée par un malt doux, caramel qui reste en retrait avec une pointe de sucre. Pourrait passer pour une belle DIPA.
