Sampled as 'Craft Explorers Salted Caramel Ale' from the same brewery, specifics as this beer. Crystal clear copper and light bronze coloured body with almost no head at all - perhaps the tiniest bit of an off-white head. Aroma of salt, caramel, pickles, funky malt, earth, biscuits and a good deal of yeast with some alcohol present. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong salty flavours at first with a good deal of malt following behind with a dry and grainy biscuity malt with a lot of yeast and salts right behind with a good balance of malt, salt and sugar noticeable towards the end. Aftertaste shows the salt and light funky malts more than anything else with a very alcohol and quite bitter finish from the malt and dry funk towards the end. Overall, a pretty sweet and funky beer that sort of tastes like it's described on the label, which in this case - isn't such a great thing. As a piece of candy, yes, but not as a beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Lidl [Grocery Store] in Manassas, Virginia on 27-January-2018 for US$10,99/twelve pack sampled at home in Washington on 12-May-2018.
