Consumed June 28th, 2012 at Seabright Brewing. Reviewed from notes.

Beer is unfiltered; looks like pulp-in orange juice!

Very aromatic: oranges and hops are upfront and in your face.

Flavor is milder than expected, dominated by orange up front, some indistinct caramel malts in the midtaste and a strong citric finish with a touch of hops.

Not much carbonation; mouthfeel is like a cask ale. Medium-bodied and on the still side.

This was noted on the menu as an IPA, but it tastes more like a fruit beer to me. Not much in the way of a "farmhouse" character, but this is an unusual enough and well-made enough beer to get my interest piqued in this newish brewery.

Serving type: on-tap
