Tall US can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Oct 21. Thanks Mike for this. Hazed amber pour, off-white head. Really nice overall. Vinous shades, bolstered by some complex sweet Brett. Crisp. Good stuff.

25th October 2021. Shrewsbury Beer Share in Chez Sophie; 5 guys splitting beers and talking bollox, great fun. Cheers Paul for the 473ml can of this; a new brewery for me and a rare chance to drink a beer from Connecticut. It poured a clean amber colour, on top a weak, wispy white head. Interesting aroma and taste, old musty grapes and other semi-sour fruits come to mind, it shouldn't be a clean and clear beer with those smells and flavours. Liked it!

Can. Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and with a decent fine minerally carbonation. Crisp bright lime, some mild lime peel. The back end shows some pleasingly chewy Tequila barrel, that could be even more intense for me. Light and cheery savoury lime on the back end. Delivers light, bright crisp lime and goes down easy. The decent Tequila could be even more decenter for me and that would make this special. Till then, defe keeping the scurvy away.

Can (best by 12/26/21) pour from The Packie. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with no sparkle, thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong skunky cannabis from the second the pop top cracks with faint sweetness in the background--might be pineapple. Taste is similar to aroma but skunky cannabis is more muted and pineapple a bit stronger. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, hemp is on the unpleasant skunky side, especially on aroma.
