Pours a hazy yellow orange colour, tight head leaves a simple ring. Smell is fresh citrus and light smoke. Taste is the same, touch of lime. Feel is smooth and tingling carbonation

2 months old. Can to wine glass.
L: Pours a hazy yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. No floaters.
S: Very citrusy with notes of lemon, lime, grapefruit and orange. Slightly herbal. Slightly smoky.
T: Lightly candied citrus fruits paired with grassy, herbal hints. Medium sweetness, medium bitterness. Slightly smoky, just as the smell.
F: Full and juicy with a medium low carbonation.
O: Great stuff from R+B as always. Seems like these guys just can’t miss. The citrus notes are rather on the fresh side this time, the typical smoky notes are there, too. Outstanding beer.
