On tap at the Asheville location. Pours a clear copper with a red hue and a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma is full of pine hops with a touch of grass and a bread backbone. Flavor starts a bit thin but has a nice pine and grassy hop finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice earthy sweet citrus and Brett note as well as a touch of flora. Flavor has more of a dominating light but sweet citrus with a touch of sweet grain and flora.

Pouring @bus. Dark orange appearance with a tan head. Tons of peanuts and fruits in the nose. Grape / plum / berry, a touch herbal flavor. Tastes like it sounds. Not bad.
