Pint can from Wine Shop Charleston, 12/9/23. Hazy orange, thin white head, average retention. Aroma of guava, mango. Taste is mango, grapefruit, orange. Thin. Meh.

Bottle from their Ass-ville outpost. Stemless wineglass @home. A foggy, dusty, pale, not super appetizing pour. Super chunks waiting to be released, dancing at the bottom. Big whiff of saltwater. As it dissipates, I get spicy vinegar. So tired of this dance. Sour, vinegary, lemon, lactic, veggie, tropical. Just about flat despite being bottle conditioned. Hazy, but otherwise thin-bodied. Booze is not the first thing on my mind. Stop releasing this bullshit already & do some qc. Wild ≠ good. The expired oj in my fridge is wild.
