500mL bottle, exppours a hazy dark amber with a large beige bead. Aroma is clearly infected, with lots of metallic character, harsh bitterness, and a touch of caramel malt. Flavour is aggressively bitter, with metallic notes, harsh bitterness, caramel, and bready malt. Carbonation is awkwardly big. Something went wrong here. Disappointing.

Can. Clear amber with a white head. 3+ Aroma of grapefruit, dried plums, light bread. Has a bit of artificiality about it somehow. Taste is sweeter than expected with bread and plum before citrus and some resin building towards the bitter finish. Less vibrant than their best but compelling in its restrained bigness.
