Tap. Orange-amber color. Floral and citric hop aroma. Bitter sour taste that lingers. Not that great.

Bottle: Clear golden hue with fizzy fading head and little lace. The aroma has notes of toasted malts, piney and floral hops, papery and earthy yeast esters, and a touch of pepper. The taste offers a moderate piney bitterness with a sour citrus around the edges. A bready and chalky aftertaste. The feel is lively. Sadly, this beer has a homebrew kit quality about it and is missing complexity and balance.

On tap at the brewery. This was really a toasty malt delight, with just a hint of woodiness, pine, earthy. The body was nice; far heftier than the other beers I had there that day. If this was on regular rotation I would drink it. Nice golden reddish amber.
