Bottled. An unclear orange-brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices and caramel as well as a light touch of vegetables, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish.

Tap @ Waterfront Alehouse in an Arcadia goblet. I should have been forewarned because I seem to usually dislike anything that has anything to do with Arcadia beers. It wasn’t cheap either but so is the bottle. It comes to the table with no head or lacing, looks completely flat. Color is ruby brown, and murky with little clarity. Aroma is overripe fruits and overly moldy and musty. Spices not really coming through. Taste is spoiled tropical fruits and spoiled apples. Its also undercarbonated. Not feeling it, the keg may be bad because I have had in the bottles and I remember it being better. The spices don’t really come through but how does one mishandle a keg. Will need to retry if it ever comes around in bottles, too expensive just to go out and buy for myself.

Bottle pours out a nice brown topped with a small tan head. Aroma of hops and yeast. Tast of pit fruit and the yeast once again. Italy should just stuck to wine. Thanks BuckDich
