From the tap it poured aclear amber body with an off-white head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is a fruity malt with a touch of caramel and a slight herbal bitterness. Medium-bodied, the fruits are clearly apple in flavor, the caramel becomes chewy, and some earthiness is added to balance it out. Quaffable.

Pours a light red color with an off white head. Aroma was some sweet malt and thats about it. Flavor was very weak and watery, a hint of hops and malt, just bad

Radish (no I didn’t mean reddish) colored beer with a ring of a head. Semi-sweet with caramel, roasted nuts and just a pinch of hop bitterness. Drinkable but not spectacular.

Tap @ Orange location. Not anything special, kind of bland, a little caramel but not much. Sweet would not buy again

Tap in Orange. Style sheet said 6.0% alcohol. Pours a reddish color. Aroma of caramel and toffee, with nice light citrus notes. The flavor is nicely balanced malt and mild hops. Light bitterness, medium body. Solid, but unspectacular.

Tap @ the brewpub. Poured a clear orange-copper color with an off-white head. Nutty and toasty malt with mild citrus notes. Light fruity caramel with a hint of citrus. Light to medium body.
