Bottle from Whole Foods in Folsom, CA. Pours slightly hazy copper with a slight white head. Aroma is more floral than anything. Med body or less. Flavor is lightly resin with floral. There’s lightly roasty caramel for background. A bit too towards amber I’d say, but it’s certainly drinkable. Has a nicely bitter finish.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate citrus hop and small dough aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

A clear reddish amber ale with a thick mocha head, gusher. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with light sulfur notes, catty floral hops, light meaty notes. In mouth, a very malty example with resinous catty hops, white grapeskin, a bit thin but good.
