12oz bottle from a six pack.
Light orange pour with a slight haze about it. Mild carbonation. Half inch head that is nice and dense, Some decent lace and retention.
Fresh, zesty hoppy nose. Mild bitterness on the tongue, and to be honest for the style this is pretty tame – I like it because it is balanced with good malt sweetness. Lingering honey like syrup, a nice package. Hops cut in at the finish with a gentle bite.
Well balanced and drinkable. Another decent Winter Seasonal from these folks.
