Jun 29, 2008 On tap at Firkin Fest March 08. Pours a hazy thick honeyed amber with large amounts of thick honey colored head. Aroma is citrus vanilla hops. Flavor is definite citrus hops, has a spring like fresh note. Medium bodied.

Mar 16, 2008 On tap at Firkin Fest. Hazy orange, big foamy head. Hops are definitely present, but the barrel aging seems to have mellowed it out to the point of improving the beer somewhat. The dry oak adds a really nice touch to this beer. This was probably my favorite Surly beer at the Fest.

This was a cask conditioned and tea bagged version. The aroma on this beer is just lovely. Top notch! Sweet tangerine and mango entice the senses. The cask muddles the flavor a little, and the carbonation is low, but very smooth on the palate. I have to admit, in general I prefer non cask beer, but nonetheless I think this was the best beer at the event. I had to dock 1 pt. but only because this was a cask version. I’d love to try the non cask version.
