16 oz sample on tap at the Davis Beer Shoppe. Herbal, somewhat oniony and piney hop aroma. I’m not a big fan of the oniony hop character from the likely Summit hops used in this beer. Unfiltered moderately hazy copper-orange colored body with a creamy, off-yellowish head and good lacing. Starts with plenty of resiny citrus orange flavors. Has a good deal of mildly sugary maltiness in the middle. Finishes with piney and oniony hop bitterness. Nicely balanced beer, but as mentioned earlier, I am not a big fan of the hop profile.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy orange amber with a creamy off-white head. Some ring lacing with time. Citrus aroma. Med body. Flavor seems very citrus and clean over an interestingly roasted malt. Finishes nicely, very bitter with maybe a touch of unusual floral. Nice drink.
