The X-Series is our experimental series of one-off batches where no two recipes are the same. X-Series No. 20 is made with Vienna Malt sourced from our friends at Blue Ox Malt House in Lisbon Falls, Maine. The fruity sweetness of strawberries is balanced by a tart acidity achieved by a blend of citric and tartaric acid.

Can "drunk" 1/13/18.
I was pretty determined to never drink/rate a beer from this brewery, but there was a six-pack at a party I was at, that no one was drinking (I WONDER WHY??), so I figured what the hell....
Moderately hazy, ruby-strawberry red body topped by a medium-sized, pink-butter-tinged head showing moderate retention.
Strawberry-vanilla notes are rather brutish/forceful up front; the fruit showing low integration and attenuation. It, at least, smells pretty authentic, however. Light lactose/lactic quality to it and some cereal-butter-like malt notes through the middle, with a growing acetic and butyric acid character....
In the mouth it's a sickly-sweet, tangy mix of underfermented strawberry juice, creamy-sweet lactose and strong baby diaper and vinegar. I think I spit out even the first sip and wasn't too keen on taking a second one. Yikes!
