Pint at the brewpub, pours a dark amber, nearing brown, creamy off white head.  Nose is sour, rubbery, apple cider vinegar, crab apple, balsamic.  Flavor has a ton of blood orange, balsamic, earthy notes, tobacco, some pencil eraser (you chewed them, you know what that means).  Finishes tart, nearly full bodied, creamy.  If your expecting an IPA, you won't be happy.  But when you drink Blind Bat, this falls squarely within their portfolio.  Funky.  7 4 7 3 13
