Can from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Lightly hazy pale yellow, some large floaties, excellent sparkle, thin head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is dark fruit/berry (almost bourbon), caramel malt, slight wert. Taste is strong caramel/wert, pine, pineapple rind. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Weird in a number of ways. Not typical haze. Then, the can says "Best enjoyed fresh while dreaming of distant shores" but this can't possibly be fresh--too malty, werty. Wish I had this fresh.
