Had this on 2012-01-27 at the brew pub.

A - Hazy golden-orange with a 1-finger white head that fades quickly leaving medium lace.

S - Light yeast, malt and a hop floral smell I wasn't familiar with. I asked the brewmaster and was told this beer was made with Sterling as the single hop for bitterness, taste and aroma. It reminded me a little of Simcoe. Not very aromatic.

T - Light roasted malt, citrus flesh and peel, light spruce, orange zest bitterness. Finishes reasonably bitter. I enjoyed the aftertaste.

M - Nice. Medium+ body and medium carbonation. Solid and a little prickly.

O - This is the first time this was brewed. The bartender said it has been popular. Too soon to know if it will be brewed again.
