Thanks for sharing Gez, so I didnt waste my token :) A dark orange appearance on this one. The aroma contains honey as advertised with some vanilla and citrus notes. The flavor was rather sweet with some floral notes, honey, and citrus. A syrupy finish. Overall not my speed but nothing offensive.

Copper, amber appearance with cream colored head and nice effervescent. Mild, refreshingcitrus taste but nothing strong. Smooth. light body. Overall a refreshing, drinkable draught.

Draft sample at SBGF07. Poured clear amber orange color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate sweet fruity aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Heavy sweet fruity flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Refreshing beer.

The aroma has a very noticeable amount of honey with corn malt. The appearance is slightly amber pale gold with a small head. The flavor is just like the aroma, meaning it’s sweet and malty. The palate is a little thin. Overall it’s very drinkable but not world class.

Draught at 11th Southern Brewers Festival in Chattanooga. Pours orange coppery with a tall foamy off-white head and lined lacing. Orange fruit hop and honey aroma with some malt (straw, hay). Bitter orange hop, moderate acidity, with a creamy honey malt balance to finish. Medium bodied and creamy, fizzy; wonderful hot afternoon beer.
