Bottle split with Dallas. Pours a slightly hazy orange body. Aroma is sharp malt. Taste is basic malt, not a ton of flavor - the aroma is significantly better than the taste.

hazy yellow color. nice sour nose got me excited. was let down on the taste. sweet with no sourness. empty finish.

Pours an orangy amber with a fairly large off white fizzy head. Notes of fruit and some floral hints in the nose. First note noticed in the taste is hay/grass with some citrus, wood, and caramel notes coming on just a beat later. Mouthfeel is tingly and slightly chalky. Finish is dry and very slightly spicy.

Bottle. Pours a clear orangish amber with an off-white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma has sweet notes with candy sugar and caramel clearly present. Also a bit of underlying nutmeg. Flavor is sweet as well with undertones of nutmeg and alcohol.

750 ml. Hazy orange with a medium-sized head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, dry grass and wood. Tastes of resiny wood, dark bread, beeswax, spicy orange, and peppermint. Light body is too fizzy for me, has some spice and alcohol warmth, and finishes dry.

Orange with big speckled white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with prominent banana and caramel. Dry and bready with a hint of grass. Very light, with evaporating alcohol finishing on the palate. $6/750

The aroma is ripened fruit, apple, banana, peach, bread, booze (especially as it warms). The appearance is a nice hazy orange, off-white head, particulate matter visible. The flavor is caramel malts, candy sugar, bread. the finish is sweet, slight hop bittering, spicy. Decent, if not actually great.

Deep orange/amber color with rich white head. Aroms is malty sweetness with some peachy sugars coming through. Flavor is bready malt with sweet fruits and spices. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Dark brown/orange pour, a little carbonation and plenty of floaties. Aroma was banana, spices, clove and very bready. Flavor of malts, candi sugar, a little alcoholo and finished very sweet. Overall a very good beer, but nothing great.

Bottle. Earthy, musty, fruity aroma. Cloudy orange/red with a very fast dissipating head. Sweet cidery taste with a tiny sour after taste. Medium bodied with lively carbonation and smooth mouth feel. This is a nice beer, a good sipper for a late night.
