Side pull at the brewery. Pours a clear, golden color, with a big, frothy, white head. The nose is rose, grassy hops, light bitterness, and black pepper. Sweet and malty, with a fairly bold, pleasant bitterness. Light to medium body, sharp, and a little sticky. Over hopped, but tasty enough.

16 ounce can from Lower Merion Beverage. Clear honey gold pour. Finger-high white head. Fragrant aroma of citrus and pine. Flavor is bittersweet citrus upfront. Big hoppy bite. Noticeable dank pine notes. Pineapple, tangerine and grapefruit throughout. Tasty.

Bartender told me it was a Root Down beer. This is the last root down beer checked in here.

16oz can from the brewery. Medium bodied, true to style. Smoked Dunkel more or less. Very drinkable, with some rich brown malts besides the smoked. Maybe more in line with a ten dollar 6pack than a 14 dollar 4pack but still enjoyable.
