16 oz can in a trade with ClarkVV. Thank you. Aroma and flavor are a copy. Pumpernickel bread, mild Maple, and soft caramel like malt. Sorghum always gives beer a very odd aftertaste. I am very glad I can have gluten!

Can pour shared by AirForceHops—thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy, iced tea brown with nice sparkle, no head or lacing. Aroma is caramel, Taste is strong caramel, brown bread and toffee. Smooth texture, soft carbonation, slightly off aftertaste.

Brewery draught, 6/16/24. Dark auburn-mahogany. Lighter tan head quickly to ring. Clear. Strong coffee, char, mineral and dark chocolate. Actually quite malty, wow. Lots of base malt but too much specialty malt resulting in heavy licorice and heavy roasted acidity. But that base malt sweetness is nice. Almost saves it.

Brewery draught, 6/16/24. Clear copper-amber. Off-white head quickly to ring. Bit soapy. Crusty/grainy specialty malt. Not much else. Iced tea, strawberry, heavy bread/dough, some soapiness. Stale citrus. Lingering heavy bread and caramel....

Brewery draught, 6/16/24. Gentle chill haze. Orange-hobey-gold. Small, white head quickly to ring. Leafy green hops. Hint of pine, lots of orange. Some juice, seemingly ample honey and white bread like malt. Clean. Light Diacetyl with juicy hops and a slightly medicinal bitterness on the finish. Good malt textures and flavors. That very bitter finish is off-putting, though.

Brewery draught, 6/16/24. Gently hazy copper-golden. Small, off-white head quickly to ring. Bright and citrusy with a bit of spicy coriander. Not too yeasty but ample pepper and just a hint of bubble gum/clove. Clean. Fruity, peppery. Some drying sensation on the palate, on the finish. Round, wet palate. Clean. Definitely different. Can tell something is different though I wouldn't know to suggest it's gluten free. Not thin, though and still amply bodied.
