Location: Bottle from Central Market, 4/29/14, Batch #4, Bottled on 1/13/14
Aroma: The nose of this one is clean citrus hops, some light-medium spice, and some yeast
Appearance: A hazed orange beer with a large, frothy, creamy, lasting beige head and heavy lace
Flavor: The flavor is lightly sweet, with a medium spice presence, and a medium bitter close
Palate: The body is medium, it has a lively carbonation, and a dry, slightly astringent, spicy finish
Overall Impression: The aroma was my favorite part of this one. The components just don't quite get to that same point from a flavor perspective. One issue is that the spice overwhelms the citrus a bit. Another is that there's a slight astringency that throws off the end palate/finish of the beer. There's some solid stuff here too, but the rest of the beer can't live up to the promise of the really nice aroma.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber gold with a thick off-white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has notes of light pine, light citrus and grass with a bit of Belgian yeast backing. Flavor has a combination of sweet citrus and grass with a bit of floral coming through from the Belgian yeast notes.
