2008 Bottle #954 courtesy of a traveling coworker. Cloudy orange-gold pour with a medium thin bone white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Citrus, oak and sweet honey in the nose. Full-bodied with a slightly sour citrus character and flavors of sweet malt, oak and honey. The finish is tart and fruity. Good brew all around.
