draft @ brewery - cloudy amber with very slight white head; aromas of caramel, malts, citrus and hops; flavor combo of malts, fruit, sugar and hops is very tasty; deliciously creamy texture drinks very smooth

bounteous hop aroma, mix of citrus & floral, light malt backdrop. dark orange with a modest head. almost palpable carbonation giving it a light (on draft) feel. quickly warming the belly. toasted malt flavor under the massive hops, which have harshness on the edges, bordering on metallic & grapefruit.

Draught. Poured amber with off white head. .Malty aroma with a coffee note. Much warmth with a malty body, and more black unsweetened coffe notes. Citrusy tones in finish not found in body.

Tap @ Brewpub: Mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose of sweet light caramel and sugar, lots of melanoidins. The flavor is a bit spicy with hops, earthy, nutty and spruce and tangerine in the finish. Not doing much for me but it’s good. Malty tail.
