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.

12 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from Beers of America and drunk at home. Light apple aroma, maybe the smell of linen (a quilt?) and vegetable scraps. Sweet taste with a bt of tartness that never gets going. A full apple flavour, but not one that excites overmuch. Slightly tangy finish, that's nice. Light body with a hint of carbonation. A strong cider that belies its strength. Okay.

Can from American Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. New region tick for me. Gold with a white head and a light fizz. Dusty grains up front with a touch of sweetcorn. Improves towards the end with some honey and sweet lemon. Sub-par but drinkable.
