Bottle @ home shared with Abijen. Hazy light orange color, very small particles of yeast residu floating in it, average sized white to off-white head. Aroma is malts, sweetish, sweet hops and it also reminds me of red fruit. Taste malts, a touch of yeast, sweet sticky hops, again some red fruits and a slight hint of spicy hops. Medium body and carbonation.

Bottled 650ml (AbM, 09/2014, lot LXR52314)
Deep amber color, good off-white head, lace. Semi-gusher bottle. Caramel, grassy hoppyness and hints of alcohol in the nose. Medium-bodied. Even this is a bit old bottle, flavor doesn’t feel old. Malty, caramelly backbone. Berryish with hints of earthy hoppyness. Light citrus and caramalt in the aftertaste. Some alcoholic kick too. Quite typical American amber and certainly plays more with malts than hops.
