Clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Light but rich malts, mildly sweet, trace of caramel and a kind of coffee richness. Mild citric pith and hop spice. Spicy orange and orange marmalade. Smooth spicy bitter finish. The richness of the malts really carry this beer, and it has good tangerine. Has a great drinkability.
