Draft at brewery 2-19-15

Keg atvthe brewery taproom. Pours mostly clear gold with a foamy, off-white head. The nose holds bread malts, a few grains, semi-ripe citrus fruits. Medium sweet flavour with more forward grainy bread, modest grassy bitterness, meringue, orange rind. Medium bodiednwith fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further grainy pale malts, simple bread, grassy and rindy bitterness. Drinkable but pretty basic.

On tap @ brewery. Golden orange appearance with a white head. Somewhat floral / perfumey hops in the nose with some citrus fruits. Carbonation a touch high. Mouth feel is a bit goopy and the flavor is a little too sweet. More citrus and grapefruit. OK but I’d like to see it tweaked a bit.

Mostly clear copper/burnt orange - an interesting take on a pale ale - moderately tangy/acidic up front, followed by some biscuit, gingerbread, and orange peel - malt gets a bit more bready late, as lightly peppery hops and a mineral bite arrive late - mostly dry throughout - lightly spicy hop finish - solid brew.
