Can. Translucent straw coloured with a white head. Aroma of oranges , crackers, silage. Taste is at first offensive enough that I didn't think I'd have a second sip. It's harshly bitter as though someone meant to put a little zest in something but got all the pith and then boiled it for hours. Dominated by this earthy/ silage/ harsh citrus. It's unpleasant and this beer is a big miss.

This is the first Bad Shepherd beer I haven't liked. I was expecting a juicy IPA and instead all I got was bitter hops. No florals. I get a tiny bit of orange in the aroma and maybe some toast in the taste, but it's really just like a scourer on my tongue.
