Can for Christmas gift from my daughter. Not sure if I get the inference of the label, weird. Clear pale. Slight can corn aroma. Big foamy head. Clean and refreshing at first but then some astringent bitterness tends to sit in. A little more bitter than your typical old country pils with a few less manners as well. Pretty good sizzle. has a little bit of warmth on its way down. Not bad, just that untamed sharpness makes it a little uncouth at times. Medium astringent bitterness sharply remains on the palate after the finish.

3 month old can A: Very dark clear orange with 1" of thick tan foam retaining and lacing well. S: Light sweet scent of toffee, pine and sweet orange. T: Thankfully much more bitter than sweet with zesty and pithy citrus hop notes balanced nicely by toasty and woody malts. Slightly boozy aftertaste. M: Medium body with crisp texture and carbonation. O: More American than English in flavor and pretty tasty overall. Nice surprise, especially at its age.

Draft at The Deuce at Pinehurst #2, NC. Clear bronze color with a small white head. Light body. Slight caramel flavor. Not bad but somewhat generic. Okay, but there are a lot better out there.

Dark copper-amber colour, small steady off-white head. Oaky, diacetylic aroma. Light-bodied. Very watery, I only taste butter, not much hops. Terrible.
