Pint can for 5.99 - thank you, Jester King for not selling this for 12 bucks a can like every other brewery in the universe - mostly black pour - thick, but fizzy and short-lived tan head - nose is simultaneously cloyingly sweet but also with moderate umami - some coffee and cream - medium-full body, though the finish is lightly thin - fairly sweet, especially in the finish - chocolate, coffee, light smoke, light umami - finish brings some bitterness and light tannic character - it has it’s weaknesses but is overall solid, especially at the price point.

This will be my last rating on RateBeer unless it is resuscitated. I want it to be a Texas beer and I have one from Jester King, purchased at Mr. T's across town. My ABGB snifter is receiving the pour from a 16 oz can of Ghost Cannon. I do the pour to see an unclear, light yellow body with a persistent head of absolutely snow white foam. The nose gives a lot of tropical and a bare hint of hoppiness. The drink is good in the style. Honeydew melon, kiwi fruit, crackers, citrus and a light bitterness concluding. A decent beer at a sad time.
