Appalachian, canned 6/13/23. Pint glass @home after picking some carrots in the yard. Clear, medium gold, thin but frothy head. Very nice drippy mango nose that turns into cookies & onions once it starts to settle; soft perfume. Taste is sweet onions & simcoe piss up front through the acidy middle; very low carb. Near the end the texture gets creamy, it gets delicately-cakey sweet & honestly tastes a little like yams. Twinge of earthy bitterness on the stop. Low co2 & the tired onion flavor was just a bit too much to appreciate the novelty. Price ain't nice either.

Can split at L6, picked up at 73 Enid, 21/03/19. Very lightly hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is tangy citric zest, orange pith, mandarin, straw, melon. Taste comprises toasted malts, bitter orange, suggestion of carrot juice, peach, citric tinged straw, light malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced light juice laden hop bitterness. Had my doubts on this one but it works well !

Can shared in London - cheers! Pours cloudy gold with a foamy, white head. Juicy citrus abounds, with low bitterness, mild pale bread, tangerine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced in the finish, more vibrant citrus fruit character. Solid.
