Poured on-tap at the brewery and served in a shaker pint, the beer is a bright, hazy, golden coloring, with a halo of white head. Nose of toasted grains, floral highlights, and fruity notes. Flavors are tangy fruit forward, with tropical fruit and berry notes, followed by a grainy backbone, and hints of booze. Oily and mid-bodied, with a tangy sweet and resinous aftertaste. The finish is oily slick, with a tangy hops linger.

Had on tap. Clear bright gold, no head. Caramel malts serve as the base in both smell and taste, smell has more of a hoppy profile with floral and herbal notes, while the taste has more bready grains defining it. Honey protrudes from both as it warms. Feel is heavier for style but still springy, zesty and a crisp malt finish

On-tap at Wedge Brewing Company, Asheville, NC
A: The beer is hazy yellowish amber in color. It poured with a thin white head that died down and left delicate lacing on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of herbal hops are present in the nose along with hints of caramel malts.
T: Flavors of herbal and spicy hops stand out in the taste in front of the backbone of caramel malts.
M: It feels a bit more than medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found this beer to be very easy to drink compared to other beers in the style. It would definitely be a nice beer to sip outside when it's a little chilly.
