22 ounce unlabeled bottle. I think this is a handbottle off of the taps. Shared by Velkyal. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazed amber color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Grainy, fruity aroma with apples, peach, pear and a slight vegetal note. Taste is very bitter and acrid. Leafy hops and light fruit notes, but generally just very bitter, medicinal and almost like paint thinner. Just not a good beer. Thin bodied.

12 ounce bottle from the brewery. Pours a clear copper color (?!?!?!?). Medium head with fair retention and lacing. Aroma is pretty straightforward candied banana. Taste is banana, clove and a bitter finish. Thin-medium bodied. Weird.

Sampled on tap at the brewery. Pours a raspberry brown color with a large creamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of brown sugar, toffee, banana and raisin. Overly sweet. Taste is bitter leafy stale hops, raisin, caramel and an earthy note. Way off kilter. Medium bodied. Not a good beer. Worst of the visit, all agreed.
