16 oz. can traded to me by Willrunforbeer! Thanks for the chance. Date on the bottom of can reads 11/03/2015. Black color with thin tan head with some mild legs of lacing. Aroma has light pine and roast on top of traces of citrus.
Flavor has weak roasted grain and a very light hint of citrus. The boldest flavor here is pine that lingers long and strong in the finish. The body is about medium/ a tad lean. The texture is dry from roast and pine. This is spot on for the style and has a nice pine hop profile. Tasty.
Personal note: my 300th beer rating from the state of Maine.
