Can at home, i thought new brewery tick but alas I’ve had one other from these folks. Not prettiest of pours muddled orange with a fingers worth of foam. Nose is resin and caramel. Tastes of malty caramel, resin, some pine, and dark bread. Some Astringent notes on plate. Booze is present. Not great

Pours clear yellow with a bubbly creme head. Aroma of lemon, pine resin. Taste has peppery resin, pine. Palate has much of the same lingering peppery resin, back on the throat. Eh.

Can pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Appearance is lightly hazy caramel light brown with finger-width off-white foamy head with decent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong caramel malt and fruit. Taste follows aroma with strong caramel and perhaps a mild citrus but it's more of an astringent quality than flavor. Tastes a bit unfinished. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Overall, it's a malt bomb and feels a bit unfinished. I tried to make sure that this was fresh but could have been wrong but this is not only not great for the style but isn't good overall.

Can from tfontana in a share. Should be a newer can. All I smell is caramel malt. The flavor is mostly all caramel sweetness. It does have stringent bitterness. No real hop flavor. Brewing 101: adding a lot of malt produces sugar which in return makes alcohol. Problem is .... too much mall so much sweetness.
