Bottle picked up at MSBH 2026. It pours clear rich orange - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is rustic bread, cereal, nuttiness cereal, floral accents, biscuit, wood, grassy, and a touch of mint. The taste is crispy, firmly dry, pleasing bitterness, wood, twist of orangey citrus, tangerine, waxy peel, pithy, touch herbal, spicy, floral and orange blossom with a drying, woody finale. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Quite an interesting offering. Carbonation a touch too high perhaps, but good nonetheless.
