Bottle. A reddish orange color with no head. A strong herbal aroma with light fruits. A smooth flavor and easy drinking. Started drinking this in the late evening and did not realize there was caffeine in it. Can you counter this with a big barleywine?

(Bottle) Pours deep copper with orange hints. The aroma spicy and floral up front with notes of roses, hibiscus, pine, bubblegum, toothpaste, black tea, wet stones, bay leaves, nutmeg, green leafs, tobacco, grass, earth and a touch of malt. The flavour is light sweet and tiny acidic with no bitterness. Floral, spicy, light citric and light malty. The mouthfeel clean and light watery with medium carbonation. Mild citric, woodsy, floral and spicy finish. Light to medium bodied.

Taste is slightly sweet and slightly sour with orange juice, lemon juice, peaches, hibiscus, dried apricots, sassafras, orange zest, white bread, hay, sage, bergamot, almonds and mint. Mouthfeel is tiny tart, watery and light to medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and tiny sour with mandarin oranges, earl grey tea, dark bread, hibiscus, dried apricots, dried peaches and cloves.

Geruch ingwerartig, süß, säuerlich-frisch, Limonade. Süß-säuerlicher Auftakt. Mitte Kräuter, teeartig (kalter Zitronentee oder Earl Grey), angenehm zusammengestellt. Floral-hefig-säuerlich im Abschluß. Ungewöhnlich, aber gut trinkbar.

Bottle:   Amberish with an assertive pink hue, moderate fizzy off-white head, dies quickly leaving little lacing.   Spicy floral nose, hibiscus I imagine.   Smells entertaining at least, and very different.   Soft on the tongue, mild floral spices, hibuscus, and now the bay leaves come out.   It ends too quickly, wished it would linger a bit more.   Could be because the body is light to moderate.   Very light spritzy feeling on the exit.   The spices fade away softly, leaving a somewhat weird faint cough syrup sort of flavor.   Despite that, I enjoyed this one.   It was very different and a breath of fresh air.
