An unclear orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet spicy combined with notes of yeast. The flavor is very sweet - and again with strong notes of yeast and spices, leading to a very dry end.

(Bottle 75 cl) Amber golden with tiny impurities and almost no head. A light tartness in the aroma. Medium body with very sweet malt and caramel accents. Quite flat - actually completely flat. Sourish finish completely without bitterness. 061006

75 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing white head. Mild spiced and slight caramel note in the aroma. Sweet malty and light caramel flavoured. Finish is mild spiced flavour with a nice sweet malt tone. Slight brett-ish note. Lovely balanced/smooth yet tasteful brew.

Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy pale amber. Orangey nose. The mouthfeel is rounded, and the malt profile is dense. The dominating flavour is orange jam, but it’s packed with other things. The orangey flavour lasts to the finish. An outstanding beer, and a worthy finale on one of the best beer rating sessions in my life. Thanks a lot the SoCal RB Crew that made this happen!!!

Bottle. Clear amber coloured with a medium sized off white ehad. Intense fruity aroma dominated by peaches with notes of spices (especially coriander) and dried fruits. Sweet and fruity flavour of peaches with notes of spices, orange peel, dried fruits, alcohol and hops. Spicy finish. Quite nice, but the fruityness (peaches on can) is too much.
