Draft at the source, courtesy of stff, thanks guys!. Murky golden amber, small off white head. Aroma is hard to describe, since I’m not sure what poplar smells like, but it worked, in combination with split fresh wood, vanilla, citrus. Taste is less bitter than I expected, with hay, vanilla, pine. Not bad.

Funk, rice, and honey nose, some fusel alcohol. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Much drier flavor of dandelion, with a funky undercurrent. Brief appearance of honey. Mouthfeel is thin. Nice funk, with some subtle nuances. It’s a bit milquetoast when chilled, but becomes more enjoyable closer to ambient temperature.
