Draft sample at the brewpub - after a couple misses here, I was pleasantly surprised by this one - turbid orange, with a thick, frothy head - earthy, musty, spicy aroma, with some tangy orange and toasted grains - lightly acidic, mildly funky, somewhat phenolic - semi-dry, tart, with a tasty finish - quite a bit of spiciness throughout, with some ginger and cardamom flavors present just enough to add additional depth - a very nice beer.
