Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a hazy orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy tan head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was tart and tangy fruity hops. The flavor was bitter, astringent and dry with notes of wood and faint vague fruity hops. Medium length finish with lingering astringency. Medium body. Meh.

Just a slight perfume for an aroma. Brownish ginger ale color with some orange in there. Good creamy carbonation. Pretty hoppy, I would have thought this was an APA and it almost borders on mild IPA. Floral hops are present in the taste. Nice thin lacing. Finish has a medium length hop bitterness, somewhat like I just got done chewing some grapefruit rinds. However, it is tolerable.
