Aromas of spice, pine, and Orange peel present from this amber hued ale. Flavor starts with a touch of dark fruit and caramel then hits heavy with bold citrus peel and finishes dry.

Draught at the brewery, 4/7/18.
Dark amber, quite hazy, with a white head that steadily fades to a ring.
Heavy, doughy, bland yeast adding earth, dirt, paper-like notes with heavy specialty malt adding an almost sour-like character, as well. Not getting much in the way of citrus peel, perhaps a bit of spice and orange oil, but it's mostly dough and specialty malt. Very bready, twangy and hard to find much good to say here.
In the mouth it's just continual yeasty dominance. Messy, bland, dirty with heavy bread, caramel and only light citrus and fruity esters that come no where near balancing or lightening things. Hard to drink much of this. What the hell happened on this visit? These beers were all a mess.
