750ml bottle (#180 of 798). The aroma was as advertised. I distinctly smelled a bag of sunflower seeds with added hints of honey and biscuit. Poured a slightly hazy dark orange color. The head was off white and reduced relatively quickly to a thin film. Minimally sweet with mild to moderate carbonation and a warming alcohol effect. Light to medium body. I tasted sunflower seeds/mixed nuts, light clove, and alcohol. There was also a hint of lemon. Yet another interesting beer from Short’s.

Bottle thanks to ogglethorp: Pours a hazy orange gold with a white head. Aroma, bready notes, nutty, toffee, and some fruits. Flavor, honey, nutty, some fruits, an earthiness to the finish. Pretty solid.

Poured a hazy copper color with an off-white head. Fruity with light alcohol and yeasty esters. The flavor has some more yeasty esters and mild honey notes. Sweet and warming.

Cloudy orange color with a white head. Average lacing and body. Aroma of citrus, lemon and hops. Taste is lemony and refreshing with some hops.
