The beer pours copper and amber in color. There is over an
inch of thick and creamy off-white to very light tan head. The aroma is ripe
orange; soft, round, melons; and pine. The taste mirrors the aromas, the fruit
is very bright, ripe, round, sweet, and the pine is slightly stinging. The
finish is moderately bitter with some grapefruit astringent burn. It has nice
carbonation, but is also smooth and round in the mouth. There is a bit of
bubble gum that comes into the aftertaste. This beer was a mixed bag for me, I really liked the aromas and the first part of the taste, but the aftertaste had some odd notes and the lingering bubble gum note was incongruous and bothersome. Still, overall it is worth a try.
2018: The beer pours a bright, light copper and amber. There is nearly an inch of white foam head. The aroma is citrus, oranges and tangerines, along with their peels, and candied oranges, with a touch of caramel. The taste follows the aromas, lots of fruit, orange, big malt, caramel, with some pine, and a massively bitter finish. The beer drinks smooth and ample bodied.
