From the tap at 8th Street Grill, Minneapolis. Pours light copper, worth fine white foam. Aroma is moderately intense with low persistence. Reminds a little of hazelnut, worth some strange feeling of oxidation. Body is light, with some final stickiness and very light astringency. Taste has balanced sweetness and bitterness, with the second dominating on the final.

12oz bottle into a Corsendonk glass on 20th May 2016 while on holiday at my daughters in California. Misty, deep amber body, off-white head which was deep and lasting. Good malty base for this flavoursome blend, liked it. My first ever beer from this brewery (and State), cheers Greg Wilson for the chance to try this.

Bottle. A- Pine, gummy bears, oranges, citrus, juicy. A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Pine, slightly bitter, juicy, oranges, gummy bears. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, juicy finish. O- After having the Summit IPA, I was leery about this one as I didn’t like it, but damn this one turned out fine. Tons of juicy hops that remind me of orange gummy bears. Not overly bitter and definitely refreshing.

Tap at a twins game. Orange gold pour. Nose is light piney hops and pale malt. Tastes of pine, caramel, straw, pale malt, and some citrus. Light earthy aftertaste. Rather plain but drinkable and enjoyable on fine day for ballgame

12 ounce bottle. Light amber orange with a large foamy beige head. Light biscuit malt nose. Some grassy hops. Flavor has a smooth toasted maltiness with subtle bitter hops. Notes of light caramel and spicy hops are balanced nicely. This is a smooth and drinkable beer.
