The commemorative 500th batch at Great Waters!

Pale orange jello. Smooth medium/thinned cap of dusty white foam. Lots of droopy/gooey lacing glare the glass.

Aroma is sweet and semi oily with one big load of Maibock-like maltyness. Sweet, doughy, kinda tangy with a pale pineapple, mango, and orange juice ting under the malt front.

Taste is quite nice. Favorable body and girth of sweet malt tanged with a pale, dull citrus of orange, peach skin, pineapple, and some tender little texture of honey-esk oilyness and citrus fluff. Very Maibock-like with a touch of honey and all the malt that one would carry.

Feel is one of the better bolder renditions to have dawned the taps at GW. Bold. rich, thick, smooth, malty, tenderly chewy and oily with a nice little finish.

A very nice drinker as well. The ABV is hidden but is evident after a bit into it as its heavy loaded malty side definately has a sneaky side to its under belly of drinkability. Good stuff. A nice brew to loosen up the cold muscles and bones from the damp Spring weather that seems to be soaking us right now.

On tap at the brewpub...

Orangey and almost red-tinged, translucent in appearance. Head is small with large open bubbles and tiny bubbles working their way up through the liquid. Tiny thin dots for lace. Orange blossom aromas, slightly oily. Lightish mouthfeel to begin with medium high carbonation. Musky somewhat doughy flavor, some yeastiness and almost a cooked flour sense going on. Thicker by the swallow, honey seems to get some traction. Odd sweetened pineapple flavors I'm not that fond of.
