Just popped this one open (literally, well carbed!).
Was greeted with a nice amount of head. I over chilled, but I'm getting some caramel goodness from the malt, and just a smidge of bitterness (a good smidge!). The aroma is pleasant and if I hadn't of stirred up the yeast I bet the color would be bang on too.
Thanks for sharing, this isn't going to last long!

This is great! Perfect carbonation, nice malt profile, good bitterness to balance. Not too sweet. Thanks for this!

Agreed with everyone on the great carb. I got a nice fluffy foam layer extending 1/2" above the glass. Clean mild fruity/floral aroma, well balanced bitterness with clean slight fruity taste with hints of lychee fruit. I would say its more of a pale ale than amber, at least by colour at a slightly hazy golden/burnt orange.
Enjoyable beer. A nice chill out sipper after a busy December Saturday. Thanks!
P.S. Love the labels, I look forward to it every year.

Nice balance of bitterness and sweetness! Mine had a little less carbonation for some reason.

Really Enjoyed this last night after being in the IWK with a sick child all weekend. It knocked my out by 7 PM though after hardly sleeping. Thanks for the Share!

Like so many of the beers in this exchange every year, not I style I think about often but that I very much enjoy when I run into a good one. As others have said this is perfectly balanced between caramel/Crystal sweetness and hop bitterness. Thanks for the share.
