On draft at Mikerphone Brewery in Elk Grove Village, IL.
Very sweet tasting with a dry finish. My least favorite Special Sauce to date.

A - Pours a very nice opaque orange color with a small white head that settles quickly to a ring.
S - The aroma is grassy and floral.
T - The flavor is grassy and flowery, with a bit of citrus and no bitterness.
M - Soft mouth feel, average carbonation.
O - Mikerphone puts out a lot lot of big citrus juice bombs, so I enjoy getting a beer that is a bit different. While this may not be my favorite Mikerphone beer, it's still very good and a nice change of pace.

On tap at the brewery. Hazy deep orange. Has an interesting hop aroma. Citrusy and a little grassy. Kinda dank with some faint melon. Tastes a little dank up front. Then melon and melon sweetness. Mild grassy bitterness. A little alcoholic. Medium heavy. Big IPA. Enthused by the smell, but it's too big for me.

Batch 036. Bottled 6/9/17; drank 6/11/17 @ the Yarchives.
Opaque orange appearance.
A rough pour yielded a nice white head; strong tree-rung lace.
Melon & faint wheat notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Melon flavor up front; dry, bitter wheat notes on the finish. No booze heat. Sugar-y sweetness settled on my lips over the course of the quaff.
A disappointing batch of Special Sauce for me; not much going on flavor-wise & the finish was pretty brutal. Oh well..
