750 ml bottle provided by both Gregis and Elliott. Pour is hazed orange copper and a one inch white head. Aroma of spicy clove, sweet orange fruit and the various grains. Pretty bright nose. Taste is the grainy malt and spelt followed closely by the bright orange fruit. Sweet, but not overly so. Nice integration of flavors. Palate is medium to thin, super high level of carbonation. Very drinkable beer. Thanks to both Greg and Elliott for bringing bottles on this one.
