22oz bottle from Jeff... Pours a vibrant yellow orange with a thin soapy white head... Huge yeast component with assertive citrus and semi-tart and tropical fruity... Flavors are full for such a light beer almost resembling a light saison. Nice body with a decently dry finish. So drinkable and tasty with a full flavor despite bein so light.

22 oz bottle courtesy of beastiefan2k. Pour is hazed yellow golden with a very loose quick falling white head. Aroma of sweet yeastiness, clove straw hay, herbal maltiness. Nice integration of aromas, very full. Taste is softly sweet - fruit apple apricot, with great herbal straw spiciness right behind that. As with the nose, really nice integration of flavors. Palate is medium to full, soft carbonation, soft and gentle with a long pleasant aftertaste. Really nice and drinkable beer. Thanks for sharing this one Eugene.

Courtesy of MCLK. Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is candi sugar, some modest amounts of black pepper corns, prunes, apricots and floral to spicy hops. The taste is near refreshing with spice hops and earthy hops followed by medium colored fruity esters like apricots and pears. Mixing in there too is candi sugar and a sense of black pepper hanging out on the edges of the flavor.
