The body is a deep orange with tons of bubbles. The head is slightly off white and thick and fluffy with sticky lacing left all over.

Lots of fruit(orange, peach, mango, grapefruit) on this which was surprising to me coming from DFH. The oak barrel is there providing some slight vanilla. The alcohol is fairly evident. There is also a pleasant floral rose aroma. Can’t wait to dive into this thing.

The bitterness and alcohol provide a bite here. The taste isn't as great as the smell due to the alcohol. It’s got the grapefruit citrusy hops. A little pine. Sweet caramel and bready malt. The finish is dry leaving a oaky flavor. Medium bodied beer that is smooth and creamy.

This took me by surprise. If not for all the alcohol flavor I would kick the taste to a 4. A great beer for sure and the beer dude at the store said it is now year round which is cool. An aged bottle would be interesting to try.
