A: Pours a moderately hazy golden honey in color with moderate to heavy amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass along the edges and moderate golden yellow + orange highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense foamy beige head that slowly reduces to medium to large sized medium thick patch surrounded by a very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit zest, citrus/grapefruit, herbal, and earthy hops over the top of light aromas of biscuit and caramel malts.

T: Upfront there is a light to moderate flavor of biscuit, grainy, and caramel malts with just a hint of sweetness. That is followed by moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/grapefruit zest, herbal, and earthy hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering bitterness.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp upfront.

O: Enjoyable and quite easy to drink with well hidden alcohol - borders on being sessionable. Definitely worth the try and I'm glad I grabbed it as it is my first from this brewery.

 

 

 

Pours a murky orange with a foamy off0white head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Tiny particles of sediment are seen suspended in the beer after the pour. Smell is of citrus fruit, citrus zest, and earthy hop aromas. Taste is much the same with citrus zest, grapefruit juice, and black tea flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

Serving type: bottle.
