Draft at Redlight. Pours a nice clear orange color with a foam white head. Biscuity aroma is fairly strong with some caramel and an astringent kick. Taste is malty with some pears and bread. Medium feeling on the palate.

On tap at RedLight.Pours a light golden amberish color.Malty, citrus nose.Flavor had some citrus and spice, definately a different type of beer for this style.Still not bad.

Tap at Barcade. Pale amber beer. Aroma is lightly fruity. There’s a bit of orange and light fruit. A little bit cidery though. Some apple and brown sugar. A strange brew, really. Tastes an awful lot like a malt liquor meets Belgian ale.

Had on tap at Redlight Redlight. Poured a nice golden color. Sweet aroma of honey and lemons. Flavor was a bit candy like up front, with just a touch of sour and bitter hops on the end. Nicely blended and better than I anticipated.

Served on tap at Beer Run in Charlottesville. Pours a golden orange color with a medium white head. Average head retention and nice lacing. Aroma of yeast, candi sugar, caramel and stone fruit. Taste us cotton candy, stone fruits and a nice hop profile in the finish. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Highly drinkable.

Draft… Lightly hazed, light amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. The nose presents sweet, grainy notes of orange blossom honey and pale malts. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy with restrained carbonation. The flavor is mainly sweet honey, but also yields mild bitterness for a semblance of balance. Finishes more sweet than bitter and then dries out a touch.

On tap at Wilfie & Nells. Buttery and malty with just a stingy amount of dull hops. BDG is a style I can deal with but this is worse then SPHs version

On tap @ Redlight. Clear amber-orange color, very little head. Slightly perfumey, grainy, mild sweeter Belgian yeast aromas. Sweeter taste, less complex than aroma, mostly floral, light finish.
