Sampled at Billies, day 2. Slightly unclear orange color, average sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are malts, lightly rye in there? Nice hoppy, sticky hops. Old school BW. Love it. Good sticky hops and firm to heavy bitter finish. Good stuff! 7-8-8-8-8,5

Another Rivington bottle pour. Reddish-amber body, didn't note the head. A big orange/citrus preseince in the aroma in between caramelly, bit oxidized maltiness. Lean, dry, caramelly, minerally malty taste, a solid orange-like presence from the hops I guess, along with a solid bitterness in the finish. Interesting more than enjoyable for me.
