On tap at the brewpub.
The appearance was a ruddy bronzed copper color. No head or lace but yes, it was a bar pour.
The aroma had some earthy sweet spices, somewhat seemed like cardamom but I wasn't entirely sure. Some orange peel came in with honey malts slightly.
The flavor had a fairly sweet portion of those combined aromas take kindly to the spices. Fairly proportionate aftertaste of spices to malts.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fairly good sessionability about it. Good enough carbonation. ABV seemed proportionate to what the brewer says. Slight finish of honey malts and I still want to say cardamom, maybe.
Overall, extremely odd beer to me, as the dry hopping barely seemed noticeable and other non-stated ingredients were found or what I thought were there. Still, this is brewed well enough to come back to.

Sample at the source
Hazy golden orange in color with a thin bubbly white head. Earthy lightly spicy with bits of honey bready maltiness to counter. Not horribly hoppy but pretty tasty just the same.
