2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle courtesy of kuphish. Hazy golden-orange pour, slight white head. Light meaty-vegetal note in the nose, some light mocha and bocky notes as well. Crisp taste, light cracker, meaty malt is big and full but, again, off somehow, like trying to squeeze four dimensions into three. Missing toasty notes, other traditional appeal. Like the feel, but this is lifeless and missing necessary complexity.

Served from a 12 oz bottle thanks to JT. The appearance is a slightly hazy pale amber with a micro white head. The aromas are light little sweet yeast with a spiced grain hint. The flavors are sweet yeasty bread, banana, light clove. A nicely balanced beer.

A nice orange-ruby pour with a generous creme colored head. Smells of biscuit dough and perhaps its either pineapple or banana. Hard for me to tell. Nice hoppy taste with a bit of a spicy bite to it. Really tasty.

Maybe this bottle was past it’s prime...just didn’t taste good. Slight head, moderate orange appearance, almost a sour aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle from a coworker. Poured a clear watery orange body with a few clinging bubbles and a medium to smaller sized fizzy bright white head. Aroma is fruity and spicey with some grassy hops, nuts, and dough. Medium to slightly thin bodied with bubbly carbonation and a crisp finish with a slightly lingering aftertaste. Flavors of nuts and spice with notes of fruit and grains. decent beer but nothing to send out any smoke signals over.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a deep golden almost orange color with a semi loose medium white head. The aroma is doughy and bready with light floral and spicy notes. The flavor is lots of spicy hoppiness with some banana and a lightly sweet and fruity characteristic which actually reminds me a lot of hefeweizen. There is a nice hop bitterness with this one and I’m not surprised to read that they dry hop it.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours golden with white head, aroma is some faint floral hops with a touch of sweet bubblegum. Taste up front is some floral hop notes leading into a light caramel and bready malt base that finishes slightly bitter. Overall good tastes in there, but nothing stands out.
