Meeting the In-Laws in neutral territory, Mills River.
Dark cola, kinda still short pour.
Cola, old ale, slight spice, bitters in the nose.
Cola, cinnamon, light lemon, cordial creme. My father in law thinks it tastes like an old fashioned. It's sweet enough that I can see that.
Prickly but not strong carbonation. Nice acidity, on the thinner side, strong.
Good sipper.

At Mills River with the in-laws.
Resurrected recipe, un-retired.
Clear, bright, pale amber, everlasting foam.
Dusty malt, dry rind, pine sap; potent.
Strong citrus rind, sweet orange, very bitter pith, lingering astringency, nicely dry.
Very foamy, decent carb, just a bit of body.
This is great.

Mills River with family. No time to be cute with my reviews.
Pale straw hazy, lingering lace.
Yeasty, dusty, slight grapefruit, faded herbal.
Lemon, oats, bittersweet, lingering herbal hops, slight citrus rind, orange juice, premium lager. Not super diluted.
Sizzling carb, acidy, itchy.
Kinda good.

Better than a typical piss but just a wee bit disappointing for a style I usually love.

Crazy tangerine orange, still pour at the source.
Subtly spicy turmeric, vanilla & orange soda scent.
Bittersweet leaning bitter. Slightly cooked orange peel & raisin, fermented dry carrot, very mellow earthy flavor that isn't obviously tea but there's some good heat in there.
Hefty body. Carb is low for sparking but it's on tap, probably forced & dies fast.
Good to try, decent enough to finish.
