12 oz. can from HEB, Boerne, TX. Happy 4th of July! Pours a clear, very dark amber color with a beige head and fair retention. Almost no lacing. Light caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel, brown sugar, and molasses flavor with an odd tangy finish. Light body. (Too) low carbonation. No bitterness. A little lifeless. Past it's prime? Disappointing.
