Keg at Guildford Arms. It pours murky brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is perfumed, earthy, spice, herbal, earth, spice, touch of citrus, brown bread and rivita. The taste is toothy, chewy, brown bread, leather, peppery spice, rye bread, citrus peel, tannin and rivita. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Interesting stuff.

Can from Appellation Wines. Pours hazy amber with a thin off-white head. Malty aromas, toffee, caramel, hint of raisins. Taste is sweet, more dried fruit. Creamy body, sweet finish. Not a bad beer, but a bit of a waste of Citra.
