Can from colonial spirits Slightly hazy dark yellow color with a huge frothy white head that persists. Bready toasty caramel maltiness with lots of citrus and a hint of grass and pine. Not bad.

Can, undated, purchased from some crappy package store in Ludlow (refrigerated), and drunk 6/3/17.
Clear, brass-yellow-lemon pulp color with stronger copper hues throughout. White head atop is initially large but falls fully to ring rather steadily.
White grape, celery stalk, black pepper, very faint orange peel and strongly bland biscuit certainly give the impression that this one has been sitting in the fridge too long. There’s very little of anything here, mostly yeast, very old hop notes and soggy malt character.
Bone dry, with no malt depth, loose carbonation and stale bitterness, this one is obviously past its prime. Hence why one should date their cans. While this obviously is obviously not a great representation of their beer, the old nature of it doesn’t explain the complete lack of malt texture/malt character. The beer is severely undermalted and the carbonation extremely fizzy and loose. Will definitely try more from these guys, but I’m not encouraged.
