Pint at the brewery. Pours a clear, straw color, with a fair, foamy, off-white head. The nose is cloves, orange zest, dusty leather, vanilla, orgeat, light sage, and juniper berries. Sweet and malty, with a nice, mellow, zesty bitterness. Medium body, crisp, and lively, with a drying finish. Surprisingly solid, tasty, and well balanced.
