Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy pale to burnt rounded orange color. The head was slim to none with barely any lacing around the glass.
The smell had some burnt caramel malts to combine with a burnt hoppiness. There was a light cracker - like substance there as well.
The taste was moderately cracker sweet with a substantial amount of weird burnt caramel malts to it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat subdued and came across as bland over my tongue. Something definitely didn’t sit right.
Overall, I didn’t really dig this one.

on tap-pours an off white head and cloudy orange color. Aroma is citrus/pine, some medium malt. Taste is pine/herbal/earthy hops with some bitterness, secondary medium malt with some sweetness. Grainy mouth feel, medium body. OK, maybe there’s a house yeast as there’s a common theme with the first beer.
