This beer pours a deer amber color with ruby hues in the light. There is a one inch light tan head. There is nice head retention and some heavy lacing.

The aroma is decent. There is a strong citrus hop profile with a very sugary sweet aroma as well. There's a bit spicing as well.

The taste is nice. Again some citrusy hops with a big dose of sweetness. There is a decent grain profile giving notes of caramel and raw grain.

The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a small carbonation bubble that provides a gentle tingle.

Overall it's a solid beer. There is a pleasing nose and taste, however nothing that stands out as being mind blowing. A great seasonal go to? Definitely.
