Pours a very cloudy orange color, with a filmy head and almost no lacing.

Smell is very soapy, a little hop fruitiness and bitterness, with lots of sour lemon at the end.

Taste is just like the smell. Like the bottle wasn't rinsed out enough. The hops are just a mouth-puckering bitter mess, and the aftertaste is all soap. Gross.

Mouthfeel is fizzy, and really helps the soap stick to your palate.

Drinkability is terrible, maybe the batch was a little off.

Overall, avoid at all costs.

A- A murky, luminscent deep orange liquid with a creamy but thin white head. There are quite a few streams of carbonation making their way to the surface. Looks really nice even if it isn't what you would expect for the style.

S- Toasted white bread and a twist of orange rind. Pretty simple, but nice.

T- Sweet, toasty, and bitter. This seems to be more of an ale to me, but hey- call it what you want, it still tastes pretty nice.

M- Creamy smooth with just the right amount of carbonation. There is some lasting bitterness in there, but overall everything checks out nicely.

D- An flavorful session beer that I hope to see around more often. I would get this again.

Had this one on tap at the brewhouse, and the first sixpack of this brew was on display. The beer was a dark-ish copper with some bready maltiness coming out in the nose. Slight hops to go with the malt in the taste, with a light-to-medium body. Drinkability was pretty good, though nothing spectacular.
