3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy, unfiltered golden-orange with a creamy eggshell head that settles slowly and leaves some soapy lace. Nose involves a healthy dose of sweet tea, peaches, honey, some herbal minty qualities, quite refreshing. More sweet than bitter in the flavor, but mostly in balance with the sweet hitting first and the bitterness following on the end. Medium bodied, tingly, with an herbal bitterness to round out. Really nice brew, very English, but with a twist. Not catching much of the rye influence, but no biggie. Doesn’t seem as strong as it is.

On tap. Copper with a lasting small film of cream. Nose of toasted nut, toffee, orange, green fresh hop, and resin. Taste is a nice mix of the same. Near-medium body has medium carbonation and is slightly to the dry side.
