16oz @ Ryan's (thx for the beer!) shared with Farees, Josh, and Alex.
Aroma: skunky, cat pees, crispy.
Taste: along the same lines, very grassy, quite dirty.
Overall: meh.

Pale amber. The aroma has a bit of sulphur, and a bit of pale malt. On the palate, the malt is not right here. It's kind of gloppy, weak, and there's some butter in there. The hops are mostly that candyish nectaron, low bitterness. The recipe isn't great and neither is the execution.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear blonde gold with small white head. Lightly dank and melon hops with a huge vegetal finish. Aroma is okay, starts okay, but finish goes off the rails.

On tap at Threefold, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma almost smells like a hazy IPA, with a lot of crunchy, chalky, vegetal (carrots!) hop character, and some melon. Flavour is rather jumbled, with a pretty muffled, chalky hop expression, some melon, and a lot of chaotic yeastiness in there. What happened here? Not getting a nice Nectaron expression and the fundamentals of the beer seem to be way off.

On tap at Threefold. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Boiled carrots on the nose. Tastes like the leftover water from boiling vegetables; some light pithy tropical fruit notes. Barely any hops, weak carbonation. This is the worst beer I've had from Slow Hand in a while.
