Can, fresh from brewery, drunk 9/8/24. Poured as hard as I could, got about half a centimeter of lightly creamy, white head. Clear, ruby-tinged, bronze-maize body. Big yeast notes, clean, fruity, lightly earthy, cellar-like, lots of mineral. Nice. Some dusty, grassy, gently herbal hops keep it balanced. Bread and hints of toffee linger. Tons more fruitiness. Soft, watery per the nitro blend. Good bitterness from herbal, grassy hopping. Not too much specialty malt. Just light toast and hints of baked brown bread. Cracker and biscuit from base malt with good attenuation. Fruity yeast. Clean but with interesting mineral, cellar, plaster elements. Don't love the choice of nitro, but I get it. I suppose, in a way, the lower, looser carbonation is redolent of a cask beer.

16 oz can at RI. Brewfest 2023. Flavor is malt, yeast with a lighter texture. Yeah it’s true to style. It is what it is. Nothing much to report here.
