3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Redlight Redlight. A crystal clear, medium golden body is crowned by a small layer of ivory colored foam that settles in quickly to a swirly film. Smooth, solid sheets of lacing coat the glass well. The aroma shows sweet toffee, white bread toast, and cereal grain in the malt base, balanced by notes of melon and lemony, spicy hops. Flavors follow in line, again showing toasted bread malts and overly sweet toffee. Floral, citrusy hop notes do their best to lend balance, though the grainy malt remains overly dominant for as fresh a beer as this one is. The palate is of moderate weight and balanced carbonation, showing a hint of grain alcohol on the slightly drying finish. Eh, it’s a decent brew, but nothing special.

Tap at Flying Saucer Sugar Land. Orange-amber with a big off-white head and decent lacing. Aroma of resin, wet dog, caramel, and citrus. Taste is pretty mildly bitter and quite malty. It’s pretty well balanced, but the hops are a little muddied. Medium bodied. Not bad at all.

Amber orange color with a small amount of head. Smell is full of resiny, floral, and citrus hops - some caramel malt sneaks in. Flavor is quite balanced but still has a nice hop punch.
