Pours amber with a white head. Aroma of lemon. Taste has earthy hops, some grainy malt, oddly sweet. Palate has much of the same, some barleywine elements. Odd.

16 oz. can shared by tfontana, thanks Tom! Cloudy amber color with fast dying head. Aroma is light toffee and weal fruit. Mild flavor of sweet grain and lager yeast backbone. Lighter body. Not much to report. It is fine.

Can (4/27/21) pour. It's a lightly hazy dark orange/amber with no sparkle, thin ring of beige head with no lacing. Aroma is strong cracker and European malts with mild skunk. Taste is strong cracker and European malts. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, decent strength to the aroma and flavor but a mild unpleasant piece to the aroma.

Can (5/19/20--drunk 6/28/20) pour from Mt. Carmel Wine & Spirits. Appearance is opaque light brown-dark yellow with light sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with good retention. Aroma is citrus, fruit salad, tinge of herb. Taste is sweet, nondescript fruit, spicy, very late mild cracker. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture and a tangyness and excessive, lively carbonation that dominates the experience. Crisp, dry finish. Overall, taste is a bit nondescript and weak vs. the aroma which is quite nice. Whole experience is dominated by distracting tangyness of mouthfeel.
