Draught. Low white and quickly disappearing white fluffy head. Clear golden body. Fruity honey aroma. Heavily carbonated fruity honey flavor with a long sweet aftertaste.

Included in a sampler at brewpub. Tried several beers on a visit to Wynkoop and I THINK this was one of them. Do not remember anything standing out in particular but they were all well done.

Draft at the brewpub. 4.2% AbV. Poured a clear orange color. Head was off white with good retention and lacing. Aroma was of subdued toffee and caramel. Carbonation was on the high end of the spectrum. There was no significant hop bitterness. Dry on the tongue with malty caramel and cereal grain flavors. Not bad.
