On tap at Great Nebraska Beer Festival - Rated from notes. Aroma is burnt rubber and lots of plastic with some hints of strawberries. Very phenolic in a bad way with faint acidity and citrus. Light malt character. Pours a cloudy copper brown with a thick tan head that exhibits good retention. Flavor has a low, acetic acidity with some vinegar character and a hint of citrus. Light strawberry notes with a lot of plastic, but it didn’t have the burnt rubber character that the aroma had. Light malt character. Mouthfeel has a medium light body with medium, creamy carbonation. Low but present astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall this is what I picture licking a tire that just drove through a strawberry field would taste like if you were to light it on fire fora bit first. Everything I hoped for and more from this brewery with quite the reputation on RB.
