Tap. Pours hazy golden orange, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is caramel, perfume, floral. Flaky is light plus sweet, light bitter, a bit sharp. Medium body. Not great.

Taster at the Bridge taproom. Pours a hazy, yellow color, with a fair, foamy, white head. The nose is peach, orange juice, coriander, hay, and light rose. Sweet and juicy, with a mellow, phenoic bitterness. Medium body, a bit acidic, and clean enough. Sharp and tasty.

Opaque, kind of dull. Thin head. Slightly overripe fruit, malts are a bit weak. Bitterness is low. Not bad but nothing jumps out.

I have a 16 oz can purchased at Total Wine on a summer visit to Santa Fe. Canned on 5/17/23, I trust the beer is all right. Using a tulip glass I tilt the can and see an indistinct, straw-yellow liquid with a small head of completely white foam. A decent scent of oranges, pine and grain. The taste, well, I am less enthralled with it. Hops, citrus, turpentine, crackers and a touch of malt. A dry sensation, no problem with that. More bitter than sweet. Okay enough.
