22 oz. bottle pored into a Weiss glass, head was large at first and slowed to nearly nothing. The aroma is mandarin-tangerine citrus, lemon, and fruity dough. Orange peel and the a perfume-like floral hop note come through as well. The flavor is loaded with spice- coriander, clementine orange and something else I can’t quite define. I can taste the hoppy notes. Makes this very different. As I drank it the head laced the glass nicely. Medium carbonation. A nice different summer drinker.

22oz bottle pours a hazy, clementine orange with a creamy, white head. Nose is very approachable, citrus, nectarine, clementines, candy. Flavor is sweet, citrus candies, malty, honey. Finish is medium bodied and lightly sweet.

Pours deep mahogany into a Sam glass. Off-white head recedes to hug rim. Grapefruit and resin aromas. Thick with upfront pineapple and mango turning sharply dry and bitter in the lasting hot grapefruit finish.

Wash. DC tasting. golden hazy, white head. light palate, grainy, with clementine adding this nice fresh sweet orange approach. Thought the palate was a tad over the 6%. Orange peel and clementine are more forward before the coriander kicks in adding a nice mild spicy touch and with a touch of citrus hops for the bittering.

Bottle at ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting. Red amber colour, thin beige head. Lots of intense high alpha hops. Hops are a bit harsh. Very good hops but harsh. Not much of a brown ale. OK. Needs more sweet malt to balance it.

Sample from a bottle shared by Brad at Jackie O’s as part of Ohio Brew Week. The beer is a clear amber-orange color with a medium frothy off-white head that burns away quickly. Sticky rings of lacing. Aroma of toasted bread and caramel malt. Medium body with flavors of sweet toasted malt, milk chocolate and some fruit. The finish is sweet and malty, with a very light hops aftertaste. Just average overall.
