Poured from a growler into a pint glass, had a pale orange with no head. Aroma had a slight smell of apricot. A touch of apricot and honey hit the palate, and a bitter aftertaste.

Poured up on tap at Cigar City with deep gold body and copper core supporting an off white head. The aroma offers up sweet honey like notes, sweet and tart apricot like fruitiness, floral hops and some grainy to sweet malts in the background. The taste has sweet maltiness mixing with sweet apricot fruit, tart near ripe fruit skin, floral hops and spicy hops. I enjoyed the crisp flavor and modest refreshing tartness of this brew.

Pours cloudy brown orange. Nose is tea, spice. Flavor is bitter tea. Bleh. Tea treatment.
