Hand-bottle courtesy of Dickinsonbeer, sampled in November 2006: Pours a clear golden with a thin-lacing wispy white head. Mild, lightly sweet, toasty pale malty aroma has a nice, bready yeasty balance. Starts sweet and biscuity malty with a nice balance of lightly bittering hops toward a drier, floral bittersweet finish. A true to style and enjoyable brew!

On tap at the Malvern location. Poured a medium and lightly hazy golden color with a small sized head. Aromas of pices, some grains, citrus, and yeasty. Tastes of spices, grains, bread, and citrus.

Had this at the Malvern Brew Fest. The pour was hazy deep straw. The aroma was complex, providing notes of orange, lemon, hops, barnyard, some spicy florals, and some Italian spices. The palate was lively, with taste notes of citrus and hops up front, backed by spicy florals and barnyardy yeasts. I found myself returning multiple times to the Mckenzie booth to get more of this stuff.

Poured a hazy golden color with a medium almost white head. Sweet and malty aroma with some citrus and yeasty notes. Light orange. The flavor was sweet and mildly fruity. Malty flavor overall with some yeasty spice on the finish.
