Undated can drunk 9/28/25.
Clear bright, ferrous-copper. Small, white head.
Nose is kind of earthy, a bit dull, with a fair bit of mineral and old, crusty bread. Obviously this has sat in the cooler for a while, given the brewery isn't even in business any longer. Hops, if they were prominent, have fully faded. Not all that rich of malt, is my worry here.
Unfortunately, there's a rather prominent chemical note up front coupled with the earthiness and dry, crackery, stale bread. Almost chlorine-like. Body is light but not thin, beer is dry with not too much toast. Needs more malt depth/richness, but more pressing, it needs to not have this slight chemical flavor. Dumped after a few sips.
