Gave this one a nice long steep, and it made it much richer and better than usual. The barley came out more, and the mouthfeel was creamy and sweet, like a perfectly-baked sugar cookie. The orange peel is the most brilliant part of it.
This is one that I will crave once in a great while, and it hits the spot. Just a really low-maintenance, simple pleasure.
