16 oz. can from a trade with Willrunforbeer. Date on the for pack holder read 6/14/17. Pours a hazy gold with an soapy head. Aroma shows me mostly grass, light tropical fruit and heavy sweet grain. Flavor displays mostly grassy hops with a huge sweet grain bill. The grain gives a heavy sweetness. The bitterness is low because of the massive amounts of malt. The 10 % isn’t noticed but not much can be with the huge sweetness.

Poured into a pilsener glass, the appearance was a bright golden color with a decent transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a rapid pace to fill a finger’s worth of fizzy white head. Seemed to die off as quickly as a bat leaves hell. Ask me about the lace. Correct, no lace.
The aroma - uh....what aroma, how about stale crackers that smelled like they were dropped in cough syrup with some stale grassiness.
The flavor - ugh, do I have to proceed. Stinky driftwood, some turpentine and stale crackers dropped in cough syrup. I can’t mention what the aftertaste was like online as I think that would be illegal to say here. Finish, what finish, the hell if I know.
The feel, somewhere between light and medium bodied with no sessionability whatsoever. Carbonation actually felt fine - fairly low which is the only somewhat saving sort of grace about this beer. ABV didn’t feel as projected.
Overall, like I said in the other beer by these guys - oh never mind, but I did hear that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

Bottle to pilsener glass, the appearance was an amber color with a fair transparency about it. Finger’s worth of dieing fizzy white foamy head. Sliding lace.
The aroma had a blend of grassy hop qualities, dried wood, white bread/doughy sweetness, dried leaves and a touch of earthiness.
The flavor was malty sweet with the hop taste coming across pretty dry with some banana peel weird taste. Cooked vegetables. Aftertaste was the cooked vegetables, banana peel weirdness and dried leaves. Don’t ask me about the finish, I had no clue.
The palate was somewhere between light and medium bodied with not much sessionability about this one. Carbonation did feel fine. ABV did feel fine.
Overall, where did craft beer ever go wrong? Did we let too many people show up to this whole \"brewing game?\" Cause the more we drink, the more we all look like fools. I heard that \"donkey ass\" tastes well these days. I don’t know about anything anymore.
