Can from Independent Spirits, Bath. As Maeib notes, brewery is now in Tennessee. Deep gold in colour, with slight carbonation and rocky, white, head. Sweet, malty, aroma with a touch of orange fruit. Flavour had more fruit, a touch of resin and some biscuity malts, before a gentle finish. Fine.

12oz can pours with a clear gold body and zero (nada) head. The aroma has sugary apple juice, brown sugar drenched peach slices and then a dash of grainy sort of doughy malts. The taste brings up fruity sweetness that has a firm malt liquor “street legal” estery sweet sugary fruitiness to it. This comes across just as the nose, sadly, but in liquid form. I find nothing redeeming here. Sure glad I was able to get the 12oz-er rather than the big can.

12oz can pours with a slightly hazy copper body that has thick gold edges and supports a weak near white head. The mild aroma offers up a soft mix of peach and pear like fruitiness where a sweet mango flavored cotton candy note is hanging around in the distance. The first impression of the flavor is that I get a faint sense of a wild cherry barrel aged sour. It is oddly inviting. Around that oddity are other fruity esters notes, a bit of molasses and I can’t shake a sliver or two of barrel produced vanilla bean. Strange stuff and somewhat off but not all that off-putting. Per style, this can of beer is some deranged blonde ale bourbon barrel aged soured hybrid sort of thing.
