Bottle. Murky amber with a white head. Loud pine and grapefruit aroma with some onion. True to some in the sub-style I guess. Softer on the palate with bread and peach before grapefruit and pine come along. Some mandarin, slight herbal notes. Medium to high bitterness. Picked up after initial impressions.

750ml bottle from Whole Foods Union Square. Rounded pint glass. Spritzy, pale golden brew. Smell is of mildly tannic, slightly metallic, acidic & boozy apple juice. Taste is rounder then it smells. Lightly sweet start, with an alcoholic & raw, woody dryness. Battery laced acidity. Bitter greens. Stone fruit. Slightly fuzzy carbonation. Boozy finish. Just okay.

On tap at Moa. Quite a lot of savoury meat notes, orange, some metallic bitterness, something floral. Really pretty terrible.

Bottle pour at Moa. Lots of sweet synthetic cherry, some tart citrus character, a sweet brioche background. Interesting, pretty tasty, nice full body. Very impressed.

On tap at Moa. Lots of pine, spruce, biscuit, orange. Controlled bitterness with some sweetness too. Not particularly exciting, but very drinkable.

On tap at Moa. Biscuit, tart lemon, floral. Quite cloying, pretty much the opposite of crisp. Not great.
