Shaker pint draft at The Peanut in Mission, Kansas. The pour is a hazed orange, with a foamy white head. Lace coats the glass. The aroma is orange peel, orange fruit, and a soft cream. The taste is bright citrus, orange fruit, sweet cream, and finishes with bitter peel. The palate is light to medium bodied with an unfiltered mouthfeel and a lingering citrus in the after taste. Well made, standard hazy.
