Loosely knit had of multiple bubble sizes, huge upon the pour but settles down into a half finger of dimpled white foam, highly credible amount of lacing left behind. Perfectly clear pumpkin orange color, yellows some around the rims, kinda looks like a cheap adjunct lager. The nose couldn't smell any different than what it looks like, sweet fig, apricot, date, pear fruit, orange juice, baker's yeast, some wet hop, herbaceous notes, the ginger, coriander spice a touch lower than expected, still here it fits the beer type. Medium-bodied, extremely smooth and fluid, the carbonation subtle and makes no sudden moves. Pepper lifts the ginger, coriander, allspice, not that sweet overall. Peach, apricot, pear takes precedence over date or fig. The orange and lemon citrus on the dry side, leaves plenty of room for the moss, forest floor earth. The breadiness and honey most apparent through the finish. Seems like a take on a style within the "house idiom" which is interesting but not to be confused with the original.
