Half pint at the Good Bottle Co. Pours dark, hazy orange with a small, beige head. The aroma is heavy resin and floral hops, some rye spiciness, straw, and just a touch of honey and lavender. Grainy sweetness up front, with a strong bitterness coming forward. Leaves a long, unpleasant, bitter aftertaste. Medium body, chalky, grainy, and thick. Overall, this is a nice, style-bending beer. Overhopped, in my opinion; too much resin and not enough floral aromas. Still, a pretty solid beer.

Bottle from Bestway, Greensboro. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of spicy rye, earth, honey, pale malts. The taste is earth, honey, pale malts, spicy rye finish. Medium bodied, well balanced, crisp. Nice beer.
