12 oz can purchased as a single at Wine & Cheese, If You Please? on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The pour is a hazed brown copper with a one inch well formed tan head. The aroma is tangerine citrus hop, resin and caramel malt. The taste is the citrus resin hop up front, followed by some dry floral and nutty malt. Some toast character as the beer warms. The palate is medium to light bodied with fine active carbonation and the resin floral dry finish. Nice, fun and unique.
