Slight orange and perfume aromas. I get a slight mustiness out of this - like grape must. Moderately hazy orange with a full white head that lingers across the top. Taste is piney with a moderate bitterness showing. A little woody. There seems to be an aspect of this that is slightly off, maybe it is the orange peel that gives it a grittiness, but slight must (not oxidation)

Bottle from Healthy Spirits. Pours hazy copper with a white head. Aroma is funk with definite red grape. Med body or so. It’s funky, grape, sour/tart in a light way. Definitely wood astringency and dry. Nice stuff.

Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of yeast, caramel malt and fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of herbal yeast, fruit and spices. The finish is fruity up front with an herbal yeast and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Davis, CA. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma is mostly roasty malt, light, with not a lot of hop. A little fruit/citrus? Med body. Flavor is fruity. Grapey/grapefruit. Not harsh. Mild roasty caramel. It’s a little bit subtle on several points. But it drinks easily, and has a nice flavor. Very refined/low key. Clean.

From bomber to stange. Aromas of wheat malt, lemon and bready yeast. Pours a clear yellow with massive carbonation and full white head. Malt takes center stage with overt noble hops as well. Thinnish mouthfeel. Slightly dry finish and moderate low bitterness. All around pleasurable.
