Tasting at Ryan's, can, 09/10/24; thanks for this Ryan! Somehow I never had it before
Blond colour, just hazy, small head. The aroma is dank, oniony, walnuts, crackers. Off-dry; bready malts base, but getting some stale bread too, maybe because of the strong onion elements; pine resins; I get some pith too.
Solid, modern, but not too exciting.

Poured from 473mL can (thanks Chris McD; pkg 09/10/24). Lightly hazed gold with small white head and weird specks - a galaxy of standing sediment. Citrus, onion, pine, very dry, a bit bitter, decent.

Can at the brewery, 12/19/24. Clear amber-auburn-rust. Large, beige head, creamy, well-retained. Heavy cereal, cream of wheat, mild toast and lots of biscuit. So much varied malt. Not getting much hop. Clean, not toasty. Malty in the mouth without excessive specialty malt. Excellent honey and slight caramel with low toast, low hop and just enough sweetness to satisfy. Mild, but ample bitterness lingering. Clean and polished.
