Draft at the source. Deep Ruby/ brown color. Aroma is caramel, molasses, weak dark fruits. The flavor is mostly correct for the style. It becomes very sweet, molasses and caramelized malts. Very light bitter hint but not really enough to balance it. Body is on the light side.

Draft at The Tap. Totally clear golden, with sheets of lacing. Aroma is good pine, light floral. Holy hell... This is a pine bomb with traces of floral tones in the finish. Bitterness is substantial after the sip, lingers. Texture is dry from pine needles.
