Draft at the Carter Payne. Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, white head. Nice hickory smoke, mild spruce, lemon zest, apple, and rosemary. Quite dry and musty, with a mellow, herbal bitterness. Light, astringent, and fairly clean. Nicely done and thoroughly interesting and tasty.

Bottle taste. Pours a clear, brown color, with a small, beige head. The aroma is maple syrup, black limes, cloves, and sea salt. Sweet and sugary, with a bold, surprisingly clean sour flavor. Light body, smooth, and only a little acidic. Simple and quality.
