Light and golden in the glass with a long-lingering white head. Plenty of lacing. Crisp carbonation caries fruit to the nose. Peach/apricot/yeasty aromas and similar flavors which are balanced by sweet caramel malts. Malty finish suggests darker fruits.

Bottle. Citric, floral and clove notes. Golden muddy coloration. It has a dust in the deep of the cup. High carbonation. Good cream. The aroma is better than the taste. Imperceptible alcohol.

Cask at Lowlander. Golden with a short lived white head - nice lace though. Hoppy honey aroma. Taste of orange and honey with a syrupy mouthfeel. Long, slightly bitter orange zest finish. Tastey!

Bottle. Deep golden colour, slightly hazy, and with some yeast particles floating around which lowers the visual impression a bit. Very earthy, spicy, and yeasty aroma, with notes of grassy hops and some bready malt. Nice and smooth mouthfeel. Very dry and pleasant finish.

Bottle: Slightly hazy golden color with a medium white head. Aroma, spices, yeast, some floral hops. Flavor, pale malts, some bready notes, spices, and a light floral bitterness to it. Pretty solid brew.

I’m not certain why it has taken me so long to try this beer. Pours a hazy golden with a fair amount of flotsam. Steady off white head that has steady centralized carbonation. Hints of allspice and corriander in the nose. Rolling smooth rounded sweet caramelly body and finish with a smatter of hops and honey. Dont blink, its pretty quick. Nice sticky lacing.
