Keg at Stillwell. It pours lightly hazy amber with a decent yellow - white head. The nose is soft, juicy, mango, peach, passion fruit, nectarine, marmalade and candy. The taste is bitter, pine, resin, spicy action, earth, minerals, varnish, stewed peach, apricot, grass and some booze with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Certainly punchy. Decent stuff.
