Bottled 3/22/22, drunk 4/2/22. Lightly hazy, rosy-bright-peach-copper-mango with a yellow-tinted, white head that is massive and shows strong retention. Floral and spicy hops are delicate and add light pine and hints of meyer lemon. Malts show deep dough and biscuit with hints of cracker leading to a clean, mineral-rich, house yeast finish with no alcohol or flaw. Big textures feels like tons of dextrine and or wheat. The flavor doesn't quite keep up and it's a bit weak in the hop department showing much more peppery/spicy bitterness than actual flavor. Malts are soft/supple and well attenuated, but also add just sparse cracker and biscuit. I don't know...there's so little flavor here; just texture and bitterness. Getting pretty tired of MBC beers being a huge letdown. This is 11 days old and just has almost zero flavor. Wtf. May be off MBC for good.

500 ml bottle from Metuchen Buy Rite, 6/7/21. Bottled 3/6/21, drink within 90 days, so I snuck it in there. Murky darker orange color, thick, foamy, beige head. Pine, caramel, grass, and grains. Some subtle citrus. Some finishing spice. Malt forward, smooth, and clean. Bright and drinkable. Solidly bitter.

Sample during the Memorial Day Cookout on 05/27/2019. Hazy bronze-gold color with a medium bone white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Strings of lacing. Aroma of floral hops, fruit and malt. Medium body with flavors of floral hops, pine and bready malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hop aftertaste. Above average overall.
