Bottle acquired in trade with SpringsLicker (thanks!). Poured a medium to deeper and cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of flowers and citrus. Tastes of oranges, citrus and very light caramel. Thinner body.

Pours a lightly hazy golden with plenty of carbonation and a big puffy white head. Fresh hoppy and fruity aroma. Mildly sweet and hoppy, but nothing spectacular. Dry grainy notes as well. Smooth and drinkable, but dull.

Thanks to SpringsLicker for the retired bottle! Poured hazy, deeper peach with a short, but well-retained cap of off-white head.. left some sticky lacing as it descended. The aroma picked up drier toffee and floral sweetness, definitely losing most of its hoppage over the years.. still enjoyable, having aged somewhat like Fuller Vintage Ales (malt-forward). The flavor had sweet, aged caramel and toffee, still with a bit of leafy and pine bitterness.. sweet malty finish. Roughly medium-bodied and a bit tacky at the back-end.. held up decently.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Misty copper, sticky head, large bubbles. Nose of biscuity malts & hops. Sweetness & some floral spices. Taste has a nice full body & lots of malts. Finishes smooth & balanced. Good!
