Pours bright orange with an offwhite head. Smell is some sweet, tangy malt with hints of apricot and sourdough bread. Taste is similar with a tart, sweet malt flavor and balancing bitterness. Nice body and carbonation. Has that somewhat tart, biscuity, tangy malt that isn’t my favorite, but seems like a good example of the style. Nicely made.

May 24, 2008 Greenwood, IN draft sampler. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head and left very little lacing. Aromas of roasted malt, grapefruit, and raisin. Taste is similar, sweet with a note of alcohol. Has a nice medium body and good texture with a really good balancing bitter finish. Worth a try.

May 18, 2008 Draft at Brea location. Dark amber pour with some off-white head. Aroma is some sweet caramel malt, german bready malt, sweet overall. Flavor is the same, sweet toasted malt. Decent mouthfeel, although I did get tired of drinking it after about half the glass.

Medium orange pour with a nice thick white frothy head and sticky lacing. Smell is sweet dough with lemon undertones. Flavor is interesting - it has a clean, crisp bite to it with a lemon dishwater effect. Palate is high carbonation but fitting here. Overall, drinkable just a bit like lemon Dawn dishwater.

May 12, 2008 Draft @ BJs: Pours orange/golden with very little head. Noticeable caramel malt. Highly carbonated, tastes of toffee and fresh apple undertones with a mild bitterness. Pretty drinkable.

May 11, 2008 Pours with a small, white head covering a clearish amber/orange body aroma is lightly spicey hops with light malts. taste is pretty hoppy, I had to double check with the waitress to make sure I was not getting the APA by mistake, WAY too hoppy for the style. Nice tasting, but very off for the style.
