Can, from the brewery. Pours cloudy dark orange-amber with small foamy beige head, faint citrus aroma, low carbonation, bitter resinous taste, faint caramel-citrus flavor, thin body, long bitter finish. Interesting, not bad.

Crisp and ever so slightly hazy amber and copper coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of light hops, some subdued alcohol and a bit more earthy malts than anything else. Medium to perhaps Fuller-bodied (not too thick though); Strong malty flavours at first with a big dose of grain and assertive earthy and caramel notes without any bitterness at all and no real decidedly intricate touches of hops, alcohol or complexity. Aftertaste shows the malts with earth and biscuits and then a bit of the alcohol and unfinished sugars, but the hopiness has dropped off a cliff and doesn't show any real character at all - just some sweetness, yeast and unfinished sugars. Overall, a fairly weak beer in terms of flavour and profile with only a touch of the grainy malt and a little alcohol noticeable. Not worth trying at all, and especially if you like IPAs and heavier beers, stay clear of this and try something different if you come here. I sampled this five ounce pour on draught for US$5,00 sampled at the brewpub/restaurant on 10-March-2018 in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
