Refreshing and hoppy ale with New Zealand, Australian and American hops giving notes of passionfruit, pineapple, blueberry and pine. Pale and dry with a subtle malt backbone.

Color is a surprising dark orange amber, really the color of black tea in a glass teapot. Plenty of sticky foam in the Gamecraft Pilsner glass. Mildly aromatic with earthy notes and alfalfa. The really tastes like an Amber Ale with something like English earthy hops in the mix. It's on the sweet side, though pleasant enough, and rather like malty tea. But then there is the bite of hops and some astringency. Aftertaste is quite bitter like many Amber Ales as well. From the 32 oz crowler can purchased at the brewery restaurant in Old Town Orange.
