An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a corn sourness lying in the background. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of oranges and a dry end.

Hazy golden body with medium off-white head. Light aroma -- apricot, ringwood(?). Taste is medium sweet, fruity (apricot/peach), light earthy. Light watery body.

Pale ale, nice head. Light but fruity aroma. Ordinary body and palate, with enough hop character.
