On draught at Local Option. The beer pours a slightly hazy golden color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to a film. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, oak and yeast. Medium-bodied with an oaky and fruity character with flavors of citrus, malt and a bit of spiced hops. The finish is woody with a subtle bourbon and fruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

The taste is caramel, resin, leather, pine, sweet tinned fruit (peach, plum and nectarine), blood orange and raisin, with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A decent fruit beer.

Tap. Orange malt and orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Sweet orange malt and moderately bitter orange peel hops flavor. Tasty beer - like the new trend of hoppy wheat beers and this one is very good.

Tap. Berry malt and light bourbon aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with minimal head. Sweet bourboun and barley malt flavor. Nice malty finish. A great idea - extremely nice to have a bourbon barrel aged beer that isn’t an Imperial stout. Works very well - hope they try some more styles aged in bourbon barrels.
