On tap at Stoneyard Craft Beer Hall and Grill in Webster, NY.

This one pours a very hazy and milky looking peachy orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

Smells like peach, orange, candied fruit, apricot and pine.

This is definitely an unapologetic juice bomb. The El Dorado hops carry the weight here, as the Golden Promise malt makes no flavor impressions that I can tell. It's got a very juicy hop flavor, lots of candied stone fruit and candied orange, with a slightly bitter finish.

This is pretty light bodied, with a crisp and juicy mouthfeel, and a normal level of carbonation.

This is a super solid beer, but not one of Upstate's absolute bests.
