nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Dec 9, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a huge sparse white head that quickly faded and left quite a bit of lacing. Aroma was orange and grapefruit, with something else that I can’t place. The flavor was slightly underwhelming. Sugar, grass and pepper with a tingly finish. Full bodied, with good carbonation and a clean mouthfeel.
