On tap at Black Fleet, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Aroma doesn't seem all that vibrant or fresh, with gentle earthy hops, bready malt, not much else. Flavour seems a bit old — though the bartender told me this is still tasting fresh; yeah, OK — with bready malt and very restrained hops. They told me they did a massive batch of this during fresh hops season to see how long it'd last. I don't know what it tasted like fresh, but it doesn't taste very fresh now.
