Tasted on 11/22/2013 by Sozzle

Notes:

Brown wit slightest haze - could be from moving the mini keg around prior to serving. The bottles seamed clearer. on earlier tastings the hop aroma seamed to be missing, after conditioning the orange aroma of the first golds became quite prominent. carmel, roast, slightly burnt toast, nutty, deep orange Good, could be maltier, finished very clean. Won peoples choice at 2013 CM Brews competition.
