Tap @ Mountain Sun Boulder. Pours a bit hazy, light yellow appearance with a white head. Slight garbage note in the nose with some straw and lemon. Fairly bland, herbal/straw hoppy, a touch yeasty, light lemon flavor. Bleh.

Tap at Vine Street - apparently their first attempt at using Orval yeast, and I would say they did a great job - sadly, my glass was extremely murky, almost milky looking, so the high yeastiness may have muddled some of the brighter characteristics of the beer - however, this sucker had some nice complexity, regardless - very dry - loads of spicy and herbal notes (sage, white pepper), moderate citrus (lemon peel, grapefruit) and a light funkiness - would love to try this a year fro now to see if the earthy/funky notes develop more, but even now this is a winner.
