Pours clear gold, with a medium white head. No lacing. Aroma is floral and earthy hops. Flavor is sweet, floral hops. Slightly stale. Very little malt profile. Palate is a bit thin, slightly watery, and dry. Not a huge fan.

Candied orange peel to the nose with just a touch of clove type spice. There is something almost watermelon-like here too. Sweet and vibrant on the palate with a bulging, smooth texture and rich decadence. This beer contains far more than one would expect from looking at it.

Medium gold and nearly bronze body with a lightly off white head. The nose was clean with oranges and some cake donuts and frosting. There is also a little bit of fresh soil. The taste has some orange peels and bitter bread crust. There is also a yeasty finish. There is a definite peanut shell character, but it is in the finish. Overall, a nice brew, but a little dry for my taste.

Citrus hoppy and grassy aroma, dry citrus hoppy grassy taste. Packs a punch but has something soapy about it which I don’t like. More hoppy than their ipa which is like way weird man. Pretty decent stuff, sessionable stuff but I remember waking up once with the taste of this beer in my mouth after a night of drinking. Sweet jesus it was not nice.

Copper colour with a medium-sized head. Sweet fruity hoppy aroma. The flavour is fruity, grassy, citrus hops with notes of malts. Bitter finish. Very nice ESB.
