Canned. Lightly hazy golden, mid sized head. Aroma of smoky chili sauce. Dry with light body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Distinct grass and bread under a thick blanket of smoky chili sauce. Mid bitter finish with moderate heat. Lovely chili sauce and great base beer. The heat is also not overpowering, still the chili sauce becomes a bit too dominant.

Cloudy orange pour with a decent white head. Aromas of malt, biscuits, pine, orange/citrus. Taste is quite similar. Nice bitter finish. Slightly boozy, but in a good way.
