On tap at Hi Sign Brewing in Austin, TX.

This one pours a dark-ish orange/amber, with slight haze, a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells fairly malty, with some citrus rind, piney hops, and sugar cookie.

This is pretty decent, but a bit too malty and boozy for me. I get booze soaked sugar cookies, with the (admittedly) intense hop character struggling to overcome that. There's lots of orange peel and resinous pine here.

This is medium bodied, fairly crisp, but not incredibly clean, as it finishes with some boozy spice.

This would be better if the ABV was dialed back a tad, and if it finished drier.

Small pour at the brewery. Copper, slight haze but mostly transparent. Bubbly just off white head.

Aroma had citrus and hint of caramel malts.

Flavor is similar to smell. Bit of malty sweetness with fruity and citrus hops.

Moderate carbonation, bit over medium bodied.

A nice brew. A good start to a new brewery.
