Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Taster pour at the source. Appearance is slightly hazy dark orange/light brown with trace sparkle, thin ring of off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is caramel malts, fruit and an almost candied-sugar sweetness. Taste is mild tart yeastiness mixed with sugary sweet. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and dry finish. Overall, consistent with the style but fairly weak flavor.
