Sample at Smiling Skull as part of Ohio Brew Week. The beer is a clear orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes gradually. Sticky strings of lacing. The aroma is citrusy with hops and malt notes. Medium-bodied with flavors of hops, grapefruit and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle from Mustard Seed. Pour is a slightly hazy orangish amber with a decent head of thick foam. Aromas are not my favorite for the style. Lots of caramel and an earthy/spicy hops presence with a little orange/citrus. Flavor is pretty grainy up front, kind of a silo dust edge, but once the hops start to bite things get better. Orange peel and spice help this beer move toward the finish line but it is still a little chewy and malty for my likes.
