Caged/Corked
Got a nice POP! on opening.
Poured into a chalice a very nice cloudy golden orange/mahongny color, high carbonation, nice one-finger plus creamy tan head, you are left with some nice small islands and sticky lacing. The nose is malty, slightly yeast, spicy, apples, blueberries, and some caramel. The taste is tangy/sweet, malty, fruity, with some caramel. The finish is dry, with a nice bitter finish. Medium body, a very nice well rounded/complex brew. Very drinkable, this is an awesome brew, I’m starting to really like this style. Highly recommended.

Pours a cloudy orange color, light head.
Aroma is sugary, yeasty.
Taste is fizzy / highly carbonated (even too much), caramel malts, thick on the palate (foamy), cane sugar and grains.
Not a bad beer, a little of a let down with the high carbonation. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
