Can (9/18/20) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a hazy yellow with attractive sparkle, 2-finger width white foamy head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong fruity esters, clove, earth, yeast. Taste is strong bubblegum, clove, fruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, really nice all around!

16 oz. can. 09/18/20. Aroma is clove, bubblegum, and rustic grain. Flavor has a bold amount of bubblegum throughout with clove, spice, and a near dry texture. Pretty nice and easy drinking.

Can at the brewery (didn't take note of date, but I would assume it's fresh), drunk 6/25/21.
Bright, deep golden with a small, white head showing moderate retention.
Plentiful lemon, thyme, black pepper and a touch of clove/bubble gum in the nose give a pretty strong impression of Dupont, though perhaps not quite as restrained in the ester/yeast profile, with less hop clarity/intensity and not as much of their house minerality. Yet still quite enjoyable in its own right and bringing brighter and tangier notes.
Soft, lightly sweet with honey and angel food cake-like malts balanced with pepper, herbal and citrus notes with the citrus lingering long. Snappy and engagingly carbonated with plentiful hop bitterness and a soft texture. It's worth noting this was brewed/canned at Riverwalk Brewing, so I'd be very interested to see it brewed/canned in house (and assume it would be significantly better).
