Can from H-E-B, Bastrop, TX. Hazy amber, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of plum, fig, dried orange peel, lemon zest, artisan jam, honey, kitchen herbs. Taste has sour plum, lemon acid, sweetish jam and earthy herbs. Tart finish with lemon peel, some herbal hops and a slight orange pith-like bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Interesting and balanced blend.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with tiny white head. Pleasant and very unusual aroma of peaches, pastry and cream with a perfume hint that I can’t place. Light body with lively, almost fizzy carbonation. Great, and unusual, taste. The start is pleasantly citrus sour, with peach, pastry and cream flavours developing, along with a hint of sweetness. Pastry lingers in the finish. Very unusual and very enjoyable.

Nice plum notes upfront. Honestly reminds me of prune juice in a good way. Mellow tartness

On tap at Easy Tiger South. Pours a near clear amber with a gold hue and a near white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has earthy bread with some tart lemon and citrus with a hint biscuit underlying. Flavor has biscuit and bread with an earthy grass and growing tart citrus through the finish.
