Pricey single from Appalachian. Seems like a running joke. I think the born on is 4/06/25 but it's cut off. Fonta blames their old print machine. Brought this across the state for a tasting & we never got to it. Sat it back down in the fridge for another couple weeks.

Pint glass at home.
Dusty brown ale with a tall, lightly tan head.
Smells of sour, sharp berries, earthy malt, wheat leaf drop.
Bittersharp & tart upfront, sharp raspberries, long & decadent peanut butter powder, hint of chocolate malt, no oil. Real fruit. After a bit, the peanut washes off & you can taste some red berries in your cheeks, but it isn't in your face obvious raspberry. Off-sweet. Lingering tartness & mellow earthy bitterness.
Thin body, medium high carb, medium high acid, slightly milky & dusty.

Kinda good. Maybe a touch too acidy.
