Bottle open for a couple of weeks at room temperature.
Lightly browned amber with translucence. Nose lightly nutty maple syrup. Palate raisiny depth, a light bright acidity with an orange peel note. Lovely with key lime and apple pies. Still vibrant with great balance. 93 pts

Dark brown with some translucency. Nose some brown sugar and toffee, then a port-like raisin note. Palate deep and complex, dark fruited yet a startling high acidity balancing the sweetness, perfectly; light on its feet with just a hint of saline depth as it sits. Wonderful on first open, will track how it does with time. 93 pts

Dark orange with initially creamy head. Nose some hops, some golden fruit. Palate an orange citrus fruity flavor with a hint of a lemony acidity. Some malty hops. Not bad but a slight disconnect. 89 pts
