1 pint swingtop purchased at New Beer in NYC - considering that at least 60% of the ratings for this beer in the last year were entered by NY/NJ folks, I’ll assume they all got this beer there, too, so who knows how long it’s been sitting on their shelves (damn you, New Beer!) - the top made a huge pop and beer gushed out of the top of the bottle - really cloudy amber beer, with a frothy, well-sustained head - a lot of oxidation and mustiness in the aroma, woodsy campfire smells, and an underlying sweetness that makes the overall aroma remind me a bit of toasting marshmallows on a damp spring night - the flavor shows more signs of age than the aroma does - quite a bit of cobweb and earthiness - a bit of oxidation and acidic character - a little bit of over-ripe fruit sweetness, combining with the acidity and smoke to make it taste like baked apples wrapped in bacon (yea, weird) - too old, or just poorly kept (New Beer!), but I don’t imagine this was that good fresh either.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Tastes strong and malty, a little bit too constant, finish somehow boring. An average beer!
