$4 pint can from Appalachian. No born on date but there was half a shelf of new Hopfly on display, so it can't be that old yet. I'm here every couple of weeks.
Pint glass at home. Tall & chunky but thin, off-white head. Dark Lipton iced tea body.
Sweet breakfast cereal, slight plum & banana, menthol & maple nose.
Sweet, flat malta, slight cola phosphates, ashy bread crust with a very thin feel. Building & lingering aspirin bitterness in the back throat never amounts to much.
Just okay. Expected better.
