Canned 5/9/25, drunk 4/8/26.
This thing is VERY carbonated, and it seems the natural sort. Either this is the world's best can conditioning, or it's been refermenting. Thankfully no sign of anything wrong in the nose; bright, spicy hop with rich, white bread and honey from the malt balancing nicely. Super clean, in fact. Lingering wax-like yeast, rich herb and soft honey.
Rich and malty with tight, spritzy carbonation. Lots of honey, baguette and honeysuckle with no huge bitterness but a good variety of flavor from the hops. Malts are deep and supple - almost a year in the can and if this had attenuated some, it must have been pushing it on the sweetness, initially. There's a lot of interesting yeast character, but a year in the can will do that, too. Could stand to be a bit more lager-like, especially on the finish. There's a bit too much fruitiness and rounded edge here (or maybe it just needs to be more dry), but this thing certainly has a LOT of flavor and malt depth for 4.7%.
