Aroma: The aroma has some peppery spice, floral notes, toast, and some light fruitiness
Appearance: Pours a very clouded gold-orange color, with a white head and coating lace
Flavor: The peppercorns come through in the taste, not overpowering, mid sweet and light bitter

Tap at Brewers Choice and holy Grains of Paradise this is a kick to the palate. Nose is super peppery with some tropical fruit. tastes is over whelming grains of paradise flavors that clears the sinuses. Also you get tropical fruits, some grass, and wood
