Can from the brewery. Clear gold with a good inch of white head. Surprisingly subtle, floaty aroma with floral and spicy notes, vine leaves, crusty bread. There is some hint of alcohol. Only medium bodied. Not very sweet with bread and some singed caramel. Pops with peppery and floral hops. Brief bitter finish leaves some spices to linger. I thought this highly unlikely to work but it's great.
