On tap at Arts and Crafts. Pours murky brown. Biscuit, peach, orange, little berry, touch of chocolate. Soft juicy body. Pretty tasty.

Can (12/26/19) pour as part of a blind taste test from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque medium brown (like apple cider) with decent sparkle, finger-width off white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is fresh picked greens, apple, and malts that are vaguely smoked. Taste is mild fruit, mild grape and grains like toasted graham cracker. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture, average carbonation, citrus astringency and finish as taste. Overall, flavor and aroma are fairly weak and nondescript. Malt seems high in the mix and astringency kind of dominates the experience. A rare miss for this brewer.

Can date of 12/26/19. Looks like muddy water. Dirty water. Aroma shows me sleep apricot, mild earthy grain, yeast. Flavor has miles fruit nuances underneath the earthy grain. The fruit helps this a lot but leans on very earthy. Massachusetts overhype on this one.
