Served in a shaker pint glass at WhirlyBall Vernon Hills.

No need for aphrodisiacs in the beer when you've got such an attractive and attentive (and knowledgeable) bartender. Quite. Anyway, this stuff pours a sunset ruby-amber topped by a half-finger of dirty ecru foam. The nose comprises caramel, very light roasted malts, very light cocoa powder, and orange zest. The taste brings in more of the same, though the roast and cocoa elements come off further blended into the surroundings, muting them slightly. Some flowers also find their way in their as well. Not bad, actually. The body is a light-leaning medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly smooth feel. Overall, a nice brew, one you don't see every day, and one you're not gonna be too upset to see on any kind of regular basis.
