Can: Hazy, yellow gold with a large white head. Milky, honey-lemon aroma. Taste is sweet, lactic, barley malt, sweet corn. Very sweet....not bad.

Fruity, hazy and some spice evident.

Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery, Greenville SC

Got in a BIF from Dragginballs76. 12 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lime zest, chili pepper, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of lime zest, chili peppers, bready malt, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lime zest, chili pepper, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of lime zest, chili pepper, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of lime zest, chili peppers, bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors with no fruity/yeasty notes. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Mild increasing pepper heat through the glass, but not overwhelming. Overall this is an excellent fruited Vienna lager! All around great robustness and balance of lime zest, chili peppers, bready malt, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Clean Pils/Vienna malts, with perfectly balanced lime/pepper flavors; and mild earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Got in a BIF from Dragginballs76. 16 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 4/11/2018. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Good appearance. Aromas of lemon, orange, peach, plum, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, and toasted bread; with lighter notes of caramel, nuttiness, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, orange, peach, plum, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, and toasted bread; with lighter notes of caramel, nuttiness, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, plum, pear, melon, red apple, cracker, toasted bread, light caramel/nutty, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, and fairly bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. Pretty thin, but not too watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good ESB. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity yeast, and bready malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink; with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Definitely could use less carbonation, and stronger dark/bready malt character. Well balanced English yeast, malts, and hops. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example otherwise.

Can fro Main St Bottle Shop. Deep amber brown color light tan head. Burnt caramel aroma. Taste is bittersweet caramel and black pepper. Very malty

Can: Hazy yellow with a short white head. Clove, banana, wheat scent. Taste is sweet banana, cloves, wheat malt.....quite a bit of clove, actually. Fairly solid.

On tap at The Hold @ Revelry, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lupulin powder, with light brett and some dankness. Flavour is dominated by the lupulin powder, with a very earthy character and chalky yeast. The lupulin powder just isn't pleasant. Not a fan.

On tap at The Hold @ Revelry, pours a hazy bright reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out lacto, tart berries and light plum acidity. Flavour is along he same lines, with tart blueberry, plum acidity and lacto. Nicely constructed with very adequate acidity. Very good.

Slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish off-white head with a very nice honey-coloured tint when held up to a light. Aroma of grass, light citrus, a dash of subtle and not assertive hops with a bit more grain and light sugars noticeable, mainly from caster sugar, but also some funk and odd yeast notes show through. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal flavours at first with a definite citrus and floral bite that shows almost more malt than hops. Only a touch of caster sugar and some funkier yeast add to the complexity of this one, which is largely straight-forward and mellow. Aftertaste shows the hop bite, but without much bitterness, only the malt and yeast flavours are pungent here with some noticeable herbal and grassy/musty/dry flavours here at the very end. Overall, a pretty sub-par IPA, but it isn't horrible...simply not worth searching out in a land full of much better beer - don't waste your time, unless you love IPAs and need to try all of them! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Greenville Beer Exchange in Greenville, South Carolina on 31-May-2018 for US$2,08 sampled at home in Washington on 10-August-2018.
