12oz bottle. Didn't love it - copper color, unique in flavor - enjoyable for a few sips but hard to drink more.

Bottled. Orange colour iwth a mediumsized sliightly off-white head, that leaves some lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malts, some pine, resin, citrus and mild floral elements. Flavour is nectary, sweet fruity with some sweet malts and a nice bitter punch in the finish.
