Bottle. Pours hazy orange with little off white head. Almost no lacing. Floral hops on the nose. Decent taste but nothing too overwhelming. An alright brew. Have another? I can dig it.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice light golden color with a white head that has nice retention but little lacing. Aroma is a bit heavy on the caramel malts with a dash of citrus hop aromas. Flavor is still a bit heavy on the caramel malt. I wish there was a bit more hop bitterness to it. The flavor is rich and full but it needs more hop presence. The mouthfeel is nice and full and drinks real nice....just needs a bit more hops.

Pour is a copper with a foamy white head. Aroma is some hops but caramel malts are stronger here. Flavor is some citrus but again the caramel malts are the main thing im getting out of this one. Drinkable.
