750ml capped bottle from the brewpub. Shared with notalush and apoptosis, and Abbey. A bit of foam after uncapping. Bubbly, foamy, soapy head that never completely fades. Thick dark golden color, cannot see through it but a of visible carbonation bubbles. Aroma is sweet candy with a small lemon hint. A bit of graininess to it. Flavor is similar the sweetness is sightly offset by the strong carbonation with slight bit of herbalness at the end. The carbonation is too strong. It’s a good beer but too sweet and carbonation is off. For the price it was great.
