Head is initially small, frothy, off-white to light brown, mostly diminishing.
Body is dark amber.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain, cookie, caramel), lightly to moderately hoppy (apricot, grapefruit, resin), with light notes of black tea and orange peel.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Pretty tasty, surprisingly enough. Not that exciting, but it’s got a pleasant aroma and good balance.

Interesting experiment in how grain choice affects different aspects of the ale. Bockyhorsey (2030), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 9, 2008 Bottle. Sweet barley malt aroma. Red body with average head. Flavor like sweet corn syrup with some dry wheat. Not a smooth drinkable beer. Sticky palate with a corn aftertaste. Should of went to bed instead of drinking this one.
