On tap at the brewery. Poured a muddled copper-brown color with a thin off-white head. The aroma was muted as a whole, but there was some light toasted malt and hints of citrus (orange) and earthy hops. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light citrus fruit leads into a lightly bitter, leafy hoppiness with hints of apricot and tangerine that lingered into a toasty, biscuity dry finish. Low carbonation and smooth mouth feel. Overall, I really wish the aroma would have been a bit more aggressive, because the flavor was unexpectedly good. This beer was actually more enjoyable than the scored I have given it, I just wish the aroma would have pulled its weight.

Tap at the brewery. Hazy brown appearance with cream colored head. Sweet and a light candy sugar, brown malty aroma. Flavor is pretty sweet, brown malty with a candy sugar. Sweet finish.
