Bottled @ ZZT 9, small sample. Hazy orange color, short head. Aroma of loads of cedar wood, slight flowery hop. Bit sweet, caramel. Bit spicy. Interesting combination, but the cedar wood overwhelms it a bit.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy orangey copper colour with average, frothy, fairly lasting, decently lacing, off-white head. Fruity hoppy aroma with hints of red berries, orange and a touch of exotic fruit on caramel malty background. Taste is initially fruity and bitter hoppy, red berries, orange with caramel malty background, some toffee, later a woody note comes in and gains more weight the closer the finish; additionally a touch of warming alcohol in the finish. Not as citrusy hoppy as one could expect. Solid but not overly exciting.
