Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Yeasty, malty, light fruit aroma. Spicy, malty, yeasty flavors. Medium body. LIngering yeast, spice, and malt. Nice body. I thought it’d show some astingency, but there’s none.

On-tap at SD Brewing Co. Pours cloudy light orange with a moderate white head, specks of lace. Smells yeasty and bready malty. Taste is somewhat rotten, flat malt flavor. After that initial crappy malt flavor it cleans up a little with some bread and citrus flavors. Medium body, ok carbonation.

On tap @ Tornado San Diego. Pours a lightly hazed pale yellow with a head that was off white and left some lacing. Nose was lightly spiced with some citrus and Belgian yeast. Medium in body with a crisp finish.

Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. This brew is a hazy golden color with a wispy white head that disappears quickly. Thick top ring of lace, with spots underneath. Aroma of spice oranges, hay and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of fruit, yeast and spices. The finish is spiced with a lingering fruit orchard flavor lingering. Pretty good overall.
