12/10 Bottle

A - Hazy, honey orange color with a nice 2 finger head that quickly dissipates. Ample carbonation. Small to moderate lacing around the glass.

S - Fruity with funk. Pepper, caramel and toffee, cloves, and banana bread.

T - Creamy fruitiness. Caramel, light spiciness, lemon, yeast.

M - Moderate body, rich, lightly carbonated. Warming alcohol undertone.

O - For this style, this beer speaks 'Drinkability' to me. Provides that sweet peppery, bready taste up front and then leaves with a smooth creamy fruity taste. Very nice!

Beautiful rich copper color. Pretty clear. Good size bubbly slightly off white head with pretty good retention. Leaves some white lace on the glass as it goes down. good looking brew. Some orange citrusy aromas, also some spice there. Getting a little bit of banana also. Smooth and drinkable. Velvety medium mouthfeel and body. Pretty crisp finish. Lingering spice. Like this beer a lot, really good balance. Extremely smooth. I would make this a regular in the rotation for sure. Want to pick up antoher bottle of this to cellar.
