Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Cloudy dark yellow color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a film. Short strings of lace. Pineapple, yeast and oak in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of funky pineapple, yeast, oak and doughy malt. The finish is tart and funky with a pineapple aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Aroma of tart cherry, yeast and malt. Light to medium body with a tart cherry character and notes of mildly funky yeast, wheat and malt. The finish is moderately tart with a lingering cherry aftertaste. Pretty good all around.

Can from Total Wine in San Jose, CA (Stevens Creek). Pours darkly ruddy with a beige head. Aroma of plummy dark fruit, roasty malt and something I can't place, but it's minor. Got it - it's smoky. Near full bodied. Flavor is plum/prune, smoky malt and slightly roasty malt. Heat may be detectable, but maybe I'm stretching for that. Not dry, but not at all sticky. Moderately bitter. Nice winter drink.
