Can pour from the brewery. Cloudy light brown with bluish tint, big head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is sweet (berries?) but is offset by unfinished/poorly attenuated malts. Taste has same issue as the aroma but the malt issue is stronger. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. A rare drain pour for me.

Undated can from tfontana, thanks, Tom! Drunk 9/3/24. Uh oh, it comes out of the can a dull, greyish blueberry juice color...That said, there is a moderate amount of head. So maybe the can oxidation I associate with this happening isn't fully realized, since it still has enough carbonation to produce a head. Smells vaguely fruity, lightly yeasty and with lots of cracker malt. No real off flavors and no oxidation, but nothing particularly bright or compelling, either. Odd, floral, soapy bitterness, with an odd fusel alcohol character that is pervasive and sharp. Soft, slick, yeasty texture, not too sweet or underattenuated, at least. But yeah, something went quite wrong here.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Deep hazy straw color. Aroma has apricot and orange marmalade. Flavor has strong astringency without any real hop character. If I’m really reaching, I would maybe say herbal hops. Overall, sweet and astringent. Not a good combination.
