Slow's draught 11/30/24. Muted blueberry purée. Lots of lactic acid, a bit punchy. Sparse, thin, heavily attenuated fruit character, though at least not unauthentic. Similar flavors with heavy lactic acidity, cracker malts, tart, fully dry fruit and zero respite from any comforting malt depth.

On draught at Cultivate Coffee & Taphouse. Brown-black pour with a medium foamy beige head that diminishes gradually to a film. Patches of lace. Roast malt, chocolate and peppers in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of smoked malt, chocolate fudge and chili pepper. The finish is roasty and mildly spicy with a chocolate malt and pepper aftertaste. Good beer all around.

Crowler from the brewery shared at our Fury for a Feast share. Thanks Jon! Pours a clear straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Lots of grapefruit pith and zest with some light pineapple notes as it warms. Great carbonation and more body than your average sesh IPA. Lingering citrus and pithy bitterness on the finish. Very good.
