Pours amber, small white head, but nice and creamy. Looks fine.
Doesn't really smell like much, some faint sweet orchard fruit, some faint citrus, bit of caramel. Not a good start.
Taste fixes that, but not perfectly. There's some decent citrus hop in the front, sweet orange but also with some bitter peel, but especially a sour-ish lemon zing. Hints of peach, banana, even the faintest bit of mango. Malts aren't too sweet, some nice biscuit, a deeper toast towards the end. Some "rooty" ginger hints, weirdly. Hops are pretty silent, a light tobacco note, a touch of dried grass, light bitterness.
Aftertaste is pretty bland, bit of malt and generic hop. Medium body, carbonation a bit low.
Not such a bad craft beer, quite refreshing, more like an American Pale Ale, and a pretty clean one, considering its "humble" roots.
