On firkin at CCB. Pours a murky as hell yellow-orange with a small white head. Nose is cedar, white and red grapefruit, vanilla, wood, and some orange peel. Flavor is similar with the cedar trying to be the star of the show with the white oak trying to assert its flavors. The white oak comes through in the background and the cedar in the front. Finish is lingering cedar. Interesting beer.

Pours a hazy orange with a bubbly head. Aroma is oak, spice, orange. Taste is a nice mix of humidor and oak. Spice is there also. Soupy medium mouthfeel. Overall a pretty solid beer

Poured a cloudy orange from the frimin. Aromas of oak, light hops, and citrus. Tastes like the oak aged ipa with some cedar thrown in. Wood flavors are not overpowing and pleasent on the palate.

Pours hazy orange with soap foamy white head. Nose is heavy wood, caramel, citrus. Flavor is dry wood, spices, orange peel.
