Decent sized head with light carbonation. Hazy orange in color. Sweet fruity aroma of spiced apples, apricots and floral hops. Very light flavor. Dry and fruity with a slight bitterness. Dry palate which puckers the tongue. I expected more from this.

Pours cloudy amber. Aroma of apricots, flowers, and a light caramel. Flavor is much the same as the aroma.

Got some floaters going on...fine-bubbled head, slowly dimishing, off-white. Aroma vanilla ice cream, slight grassiness, some...figs/dates. Taste: wow diacetyl and acidic bite, some sweetness. Butter toffe/caramel, *barely* dry finish. Okay as a....what is it, anyway? Tastes a bit similar to that buttery O-fest I had a few hours ago.
