From a pounder can. Pours clear pale with a slightly darker orange brown tint. Nose is very mild, barely detectable, sweeter bread biscuit and earthly caramel. Decent first taste, but just a tad boozy. Good level of carbonation. Getting some hints of developing cloying sweet caramel as I near the middle. Perhaps not as civilized as many real ESBs. Has a way to go to be as good as Bullseye Stone Pub, McNeill's Extra Special and Big Rail Pennsylvania. Yes, the sweetness really starts getting on my nerves as I approach the finish. Seems to get more flat as the session continues. Demeanor and attitude is a bit bearing. Some volatility shows up in the end. On par with Bass Pale, Firestone DBA and Goose Island Harvest. There, you have it.

Pounder can for 3$. Nose if very faint but if you search for the aroma, you may get just a hint of cherry, just not too sure. Pour is very nice attractive lighter hazy maroon. First taste is tart fer sher. Then, just as you start to enjoy the wild attitude of this brew, you get a little alky boost in there. Yea, as I approach the middle the boozy aspect starts to hit home, it begins to feel a little like a fortified malt fruit beverage but much more refined. It never stoops to the cave man neanderthal troglodyte level of those nasty alky fruit bombs; it keeps a civilized stiff upper lip. Yes, I'm really enjoying this happy BS! Its better than I thot it would be. That cherry flavor in there is so realistically tart, like real sour cherries! No artificial poppycock here, baby! Nice pleasant fruited wild ale type of finish. Good job there RD! I shouldah got a sixer of these kind souls.
