It pours a slightly rusty bright orange color, bit of haze, and a small quickly dissipating head.

The aroma gives me a really nice blend of horseblanket, apricot, crab apples, oak, vanilla, and after another bit of swirling some kumquat comes out. It's sort of sepia tinged, but with a healthy bright tint to it. Some sweetness resides there as well.

The palate has a great sweet/tart balance, and is earthy yet fruity. Apricot tends to stand out. The finish is woody with some citrus peel, which leads to a layered aftertaste going into spice, then barnyard and then back again. Mouthfeel is moderately rich, and it's overall impeccably balanced. Very nice beer, with high drinkability.

Thanks to FlintB for this one.
