A: Pours a relatively clear medium to deep honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate copper + deep golden yellow + burnt orange colored highlights. The beer has a finger tall sudsy foamy beige head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, herbal, and tropical/melon hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of bready + caramel + toasted malts with a light amount of caramel sweetness.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of bready malts with light to moderate flavors of toasted + caramel malts and a slightly heavier than light amount of caramel sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit, citrus/orange, herbal, and tropical/melon hops which impart a light to moderate amount of lingering bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Light hints of alcohol warming and dryness in the finish.
O: Enjoyable and easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and enjoyable hop flavors + aromas. I could easily see myself grabbing one of these again.
