Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque, dirty light brown with no sparkle, a few white floaties, finger-width off-white head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit and hint of herb. Taste follows aroma but no herb but addition of grain. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice and juicy. Not super complex but good strength.

A bit disappointing. Thin body, a bit acidic. At least low bitterness but lacking any depth and complexity. Possibly hurt by time. Sk adventkal

355ml can. Pours a clear brown with red hue and a large, foamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of toasted caramel malt, bread, oats, pecans and brown sugar. Sweet flavour of toasted caramel malt, toffee, brown sugar, pecans, oats and earth in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a smooth, almost creamy texture and average carbonation. Pretty decent.
