Bottle split at LKS 15K Tasting, big thanks to Manny Goldberg, 02/11/15. Lightly hazed orange amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is bitter citric peel, straw, earthy, caramel. Taste comprises light citric drizzle, bready, pinch of spice, damp straw, light herbal elements. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok for style I guess but way below par compared to other offerings I’ve had from this brewer.

Bottle thanks to Manny G. It pours lightly hazy deep orange - amber with a medium white head. The nose is soft, sweet orange, orange blossom, spicy, herbal and toasty grain. The taste is crisp, sweet, minerals, sweet orange muffin, candy, spice, herbal, floral notes, toasted grain and cereal with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty so-so. A disappointment.

On tap at Alpine, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out citrus zest, honey and floral notes. Flavour brings out similar notes, especially citrus zest and honey. Secondary notes of floral hops. Really well-balanced, fruity and refreshing. Good stuff.
