Pint at the brewery. Pours a clear, straw color, with a fair, foamy, off-white head. The nose is cloves, orange zest, dusty leather, vanilla, orgeat, light sage, and juniper berries. Sweet and malty, with a nice, mellow, zesty bitterness. Medium body, crisp, and lively, with a drying finish. Surprisingly solid, tasty, and well balanced.

Taster at the brewery. Described as an English Breakfast Ale, or a coffee cream ale, but it was hard to nail down. Pours a murky orange color, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is butterscotch, light coffee, orange peel, and cream. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow, dusty bitterness. Light to medium body, smooth, and clean. Fun and interesting, and pretty tasty.
