Aromas are fresh citrus with some sweat and some stone fruit hops. Flavors are similar to nose with good body carbonation but a little on the street side.

(Thanks, Jared! MetalNHopHead) Bottle. A- Tea Leaves, earthy, mild roast. A- Mahogany color, clear liquid, beige head. T- Caramel, nutty, earthy. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- Pleasantly surprised here. I have been digging mild ales lately and while they are few and far between, this one has been one of the best. Well balanced. A great intro to Lua.
