On tap at the brewery, pours a dark gold with some sudsy white head. Nose is a little odd, guava, some over ripe melon, some baked brie or something. Flavor has mango, some white berry, some rotting stone fruit, a little candy. Finishes full bodied and bitter. Flavor rebounds but the nose is a little strange to get over.

Tap. Pours hazy golden, large white head, disaster slowly good lacing. Aroma has an initial fartiness, sulphur, grains, grass, citrus. Flavors is light sweet, fairly bitter, lots of spicy malt notes, rye, no sulphur which is good. Grass and floral hops, but spicy malts take the stage here. Light plus body, high carbonation. Good.
