Nifty can label, considering I do use PB Blaster in the garage to loosen rusted bolts & nuts. Pour is orange brown and clear, nice head fades to a thin blanket. Nose is quite malty and the first taste has lots of personality, maybe more than I can appreciate. Has a rather strong phenolic bitterness that I'm finding difficult to deal with, whew. Thru the middle, that strange 'new brewer' sharpness keeps building. Seems like something went wrong with this baby. Its hard to appreciate the maltiness in this brew with such a pointed bitter bite up front and in yer face. One good thin is it has a high level of carbonation which creates a mild distraction from the rudeness of that bitter bite. Wish it was better but I'm glad the session is over. Blah. Got a long way to go to be as good as Trader José Dark Premium Lager. Probably more on the level of City Brewing William Penn Colonial Style.
