Draft at Anacapa. Lightly hazy orange amber with a pale beige that leaves a beige curtain like fine lace on the sides of the glass. Nose is candisugar, cloves, and floral hops with a smattering of yeast. Flavor is lightly bitter, lightly sweet, with some Belgian spiciness.

The beer pours a lightly hazed golden orange color with a white head. Quite heavy on the floral and citrus peel hop notes. A touch of pepper, some banana sweetness, and a fair amount of bready malt. The flavor is floral and citrus hops with a fairly pronounced bitterness. Pepper, light grass, and bread are present, too. There are some nice ester notes of pear, banana, and some apple which give a bit of sweetness.
