Restaurant draught, 9/11/24. Clear, medium amber-copper. Small, off-white head, modest retention. Light toast and floral notes with a bit of earthy spice. Lighter base not but not over toasted, seemingly. Surprisingly hoppy for the style and hop used. In the mouth it fares similarly, though it's not over toasted or in use of too much specialty malt of any sort. Good caramel, red fruit and depth with vanilla and great dryness on the finish. Quite crisp and drinkable with a refreshing floral and herbal hop character.

Pours slightly hazed amber into a stein. White head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Sour citrus and star fruit aromas. Medium bodied with sweet caramel upfront turning to tart underlying dried apricot and dusty plum skin before the lasting earthy multigrain finish.

Pours slightly hazed light bronze into an English pint. Bright white head crackles and recedes to coat surface. Sweet tangerine peel aromas. Medium bodied with sour and bitter tangerine peel and pith front to back. Cloying and bitter at the same time - impressive, but not in a good way.
