@ Haw River

Mostly clear orange-amber color under a decent, frothy off-white head. Apricots, flowers, light orange, and grain in the nose. Flavors of creamy orange and apricot fruitiness and pleasantly mellow peppery yeast. Enjoyable blend of light juicy citrus acidity and some tasty cereal grains. Frothy, smooth medium body with a dry finish. Really nice - not too yeasty.

4.25/5  rDev +2.2%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Arrives clear and copper colored with a nice head that displays good retention and lacing action

Smell: Tea tones, with hints of grapefruit and apricot

Taste: Fruity forward, with apricot and white grapefruit tones building; spicy yeast and black tea flavors arrive, after the swallow; dry finish

Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation

Overall: A very interesting beer that has subtle fruit and tea flavors; this experimental hop is a keeper
