Hazy copper pour orange tint sticky lacing with thin white head ..... aroma is very fruity and grassy hops with lemon zest .... taste is earthy, light caramel malt, mostly citrusy with lemon zest, fresh grassy hops and a bitter lemony bite, lightly sour fruity dry ..... finish is dry with a nice lingering bitter bite ..... well balanced and nicely done .... very sessionable

Draft at Monks. Poured a powdery cloudy orange with a fizzy foamy head. Pithy grassy nose. Taste is nicely blended and complex. Green vines. Wet oak. Kumquats. Crisp and fresh. Fizzy on the tongue. More body than expected. Warms to a bit of a sweet aroma but maintains a dry taste and finish. Very nice actually.

Bottle: Bit shy aroma, acid, citrus, aroma hops. Hazy yellow to light orange color, white head. Flavor is malty, fruitiness, floral and aroma hops. Dry finish. Nice but unbalanced.

Tap. Pours hazy orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is moderate cookie and biscuit malt with heavy fruity esters and farmhouse yeast notes. Flavor is light malt, farmhouse yeast, fruity esters, floral hops and a dry finish. Medium body, warmth, and carbonation.

Pours very hazy, almost opaque pale orange, 1 finger of perfect head with incredible retention. Aroma is very cheesy fresh hops but unlike American renditions, this is an entirely Noble hop aroma which is less citrusy and more spicy and woodsy, some fruity pale malt to balance. Taste is delicate spicy woodsy dry hop notes, tons of fruity malt, candy hop finish, grassy and somewhat tea-like. Body is medium, silky smooth, lowish carbonation, juicy hoppy finish. Overall, this is totally wierd. Basically a pale ale brewed with ingredients that would normally compose a lager.

Tap - small foamy head, hazy dark straw/orange color, hoppy aroma, nice citrus hop flavor

Draft @ redlight redlight. Light fruit and grassy notes on the nose. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a thin white head. The hops really shine, earthy bitterness with subtle grassy notes with the malt picking up towards the end with some fruity notes. Leaves the mouth feeling dry with hints of citrus and grass.
