Can. Amber colour. Thin head. Mostly bright, just a chill haze. On the nose, it's really chewy, hops a bit cheesy. It's older school than old school. On the palate, it's different. I mean, there's still some cheesy hops, but it's not so much chewy as it is candy sweet. The malts are strange times indeed here. Now, I'm not crazy about cashmere anyway. In this case, it's kind of an orangey accent and that makes for an odd interplay with the malt. The alcohol is just noticeable, could stand to be a bit burlier, especially as perceived bitterness is low. Man. This is a tough one to evaluate. I don't particularly care for it, but even though it's unusual it's not off or wrong. Just different in a way I don't happen to care for personally.
