Single from their Asheville tap room. Disappointed in myself for not finding out about all these cool one off brews till months later. Pint glass @home. Pale, gloopy after a seltzer burst, gold like most others. Smells, but doesn't reek of cigarettes laced with cheap dank, watermelon juice & bitter cider. Taste is better. Peppery, juicy, stiff punch of green veg bitterness, pineapple, tart lemon, salt, slightly floral, lingering sour crab, cigarette & bitter lettuce finish. Very light lingering iron aftertaste. Yeasty, but feels thinner with the very soda-ish carbonation. Rough & spirited. Strong for the abv. Finally something different.
