Description
For us, good living means exploring – the opposite of “comfortable.” It’s not just about craft, but about questing, questioning, transforming “What If” into “Here’s How,” by way of an experiment so crazy, it just might work.

Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.

From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.

So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

12oz bottle. Poured a mostly clear copper color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was toasted malts, caramel malt. Some pumpkin, but it's masked a bit. Caramel, light cloves. Cinnamon finish. Classic Pumpking taste. Actually not terrible! Decent maple with nice pumpking. The unadulterated version is still the best.

Can, 3$ @ JRs. Pour is viscous light orange tinted pale. Slight haze. Aroma is boozy mild fruit & citrus. Nose barely gets the fruits, it more like a sweet alarming alky concoction on the olfactory. First taste is warming medicinal bitchy bitter bitchtits bastard. A real mega muff mothah. Wankjob whorebag whoreface. I guess you can tell I feel its terribly mouthcoating tard thunbertwit on style. Whew, woe; wayward warlike wacky. ST rmakes some really really good godzilla gooch goopchute grimy gutfull IPA gruel. There you have it, one big strate up ass, dreadfully on style IPA. Blah. One good thing about this happy BS, is that I think I'm feeling a little less inhibited once I get to the bottom of the can.

Eye is clear light orange tinted on heavy pale color. Off white creamy head fades to pond scum after a while. Nose is rather aged hops, date on can says good till oct 2026, so I'm not sure here. Must be those 'fine' american hops, hehehh. Woe, first taste is rather heavy on the old hops feeling. Woodsy pine old fermented green grapefruit pulp. Difficult, lots of bitter bitterness, hah. Certainly hints of the terroir that the hops were grown in. Quite nasty rototiller. Co2 level is almost acceptable, to keep it from coating the inside of my pie hole. Middle is getting somewhat astringent and phenolic, sticks inside the palate. Ends like a biggy blasty bastard. Long terrible finish hangs around like an earworm. Whew. There, you have it. Can 3$ from JRs.

Taster at Tap It, in Indian Land, SC. It pours a pitch black color with virtually no head. Strong maple aroma. Very sweet maple flavor. I would call this a maple ale. I don't taste any pumpkin. but it's super sweet and super maple-flavored. Medium body. Light carbonation. Light bitterness. Slightly boozy in the finish.
