On tap at Capone’s, this traditional ale pours clear yellow amber with an orange hue and small off white head. The aroma is light sweetness, but not much else going on. The flavor has some moderate bitterness and sweetness on top of a thin body with some lively carbonation.

Farmhouse-like aroma. Blood-orange color with slight sudsy white head. Slightly sour edge, farmhouse ale mustiness...interesting.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Crisp beer. Sourish. Caramel and fruit. I guess it must be the figs imparting the sourness. Refreshing. Nice beer!
