A hazed blonde ale with thick white head. A light smooth triple aroma with light lemon notes, coriander, signs of light oxidation, epsom salts. In mouth, a smooth candy sugar with curacao, bland and rather boring. On tap at Lord Hobo, April 4, 2010.

22oz bottle at the DC local tasting. Pours a clear, copper amber with a creamy, slightly off white head. Aroma is a little spicy, malty but mild, sweet. Flavor is sweet, caramel, cookie dough, malty, light oranges. One person remarked that the finish was tannic like iced tea. Sessionable. I like a good alt, very underrated style.
