Reviewed from notes.
On tap at Big Fatty's, White River Junction, VT on 05/18/2018
Appearance: mellow orange haziness; quarter finger's worth of white frothy head which settled off nicely but didn't leave any lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hops, stifled piney hops and some biscuity to caramel-ish malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality in a semi-old school sort of way; finishes citrusy and caramel malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a medium hop assertiveness
Overall: not bad, maybe again.

4oz sampler at brewery. Hazy golden pour, thin white head. Light citrus peel aroma, stone fruit. Taste brings minor citrus pell zest notes, fruity, dry. Bitterness lingers for a bit. Mellow.

32 oz. growler thanks to Adam and Heather. The deer shows a nice juicy character. Orange pulp, melon pop, some earth a note in the finish. Absolutely no bitterness, clean. Pretty much a "juice bomb" as all the kids are saying these days

mildly hazy burnt orange appearance. from a growler filled yesterday 1 finger off white head. Smells like a very faint juicy orange whip. Good bitterness, oatmeal and tapioca mouthfeel, bitter orange peel, cane sugar lemongrass and biscuits.
