Bottle courtesy of Sebletitje. Pours a hazy amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, honey and bread. Flavor is much of the same with a slightly higher hop profile. Generally light to medium body with a pleasing malty finish.

pours amber with white head. aroma light caramel malts and hops Taste is similar to aroma, with good bitter hop profile of fruits and citrus, mixed with some malts and caramel. Nothing spectacular.

22oz brown glass pry-top w/out freshness date. Appearance: A moderately hazy amber/brown with light tan head and no lacing. Nose: Hop-candy. Pale malty sweetness combined with light citrus and a slight floral note. Candied orange comes to mind. Palate: Medium-bodied and much more malty than I anticipated. Slick mouth-feel is then overtaken by hop-sharpness on the finish. Medium-caramel malt notes (like an alt) mingle with the citrus qualities of the hops and a little fruitiness from the yeast, and then are taken by the dry, bitter hops, and a little dried cannabis-like note on the finish. Notes: A slightly off-balance bitter, if only because it seems like it’s just an exaggerated recipe. It’s both big on the fruity notes and big on the bitter. Tasty and sessionable.
