It is nuts in here. We had to park in the hotel parking lot next door and wait about 20 minutes to get a pour. Off to Deerfield after this! Oh Trimback got a flat on the way here from Fidens! Never a dull moment!

Charlton draught, 3/3/23. Heavily hazy/turbid, bronze-brass-maize. White head immediately to edge. Good mix of IPA and pineapple in the nose with the hops winning out, thankfully. Lovely spiciness, with an almost wintergreen character. Some juice, some sweat, some mineral/earth. Really nice. Better than I remember the base beer, which was a bit too aggressive when I last had it. Juicy, spicy, excellent malt character with strong attenuation. Killer balance, wow. And a ton of hop though no resin or twang. Moderate bitterness and, the best part, low pineapple. Just a slight note to complement. Clean, soft, malty, spicy and no booze or resin. Lovely.
