EXPLODED CAN. Ridiculously hazy golden straw coloured body with an orange glow and a wort-like look, that is all haze - like a chicha. Aroma of salt, grass, herbs, light malt and a touch of sour funk. Light-bodied; Mellow sweetness with a good deal of salt noticeable, some coriander seed, grass, hay, yeast, bread and a little bit of berry flavours near the end - very mellow though. Aftertaste shows a big grassy and dry flavour with some dominant salt and a bit of sweet notes that show a tiny bit of sour funk with yeast. Overall, a decent beer at best, not one really worth trying to find, even (or perhaps especially) for those who like the style. I sampled this exploded sixteen ounce/pint can purchased from Beverage Warehouse in Winooski, Vermont on 19-September-2016 for US$2,75 which exploded at room temperature with no movement less than a month and a half after purchase - beware and do not age. The sediment and unfiltered qualities are evident, but this doesn’t lead well to a very full can. Sampled at home in Washington on 03-November-2016.

Canned September 22nd. Thanks Adam for the can!

It pours a severely dense cloudy milky orange with plenty of foam. Some lacing left behind from the shrinking head.

Mango mania running wild in the smell. I get some pine needles and pine apple .Definitely bitter forward.

Mango mixed with grapefruit citrus and pine needles, The swallow is loaded with that pine, minimal malt presence throughout. Very tasty in a peculiar kind of way.

Medium describes the body and carbonation.

5.5% abv and it is almost too loaded with flavours. I wish I could say that more often.

Love the cloudy look smell and taste of this sog! Prost Adam!

Can into pilsner glass showing cloudy whitish yellow with a finger of quickly dissipating clean white foam. The nose shows sweet corn potage or apple sauce. The palate is light bodied and well carbonated. Light flavors of sweet corn and red apples with bready malts with some copper notes on the mid palate to finish.

Growlette from Winooski Beverage.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy, semi-cloudy glazed over orange peel color. Finger’s worth of white foamy head dissipates ever so nicely. Spider web lacing.
The aroma blends sweet pulpy juiciness to bitter citrus rind, allowing some sweet grassiness to slide in underneath. Subtle pineapple as well.
The flavor blends most of it bittersweetly with a dry semi-sweet slightly bitter juicy aftertaste leading into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems to hit appropriately, nice and low, and leads to a super smooth feel sliding over my tongue.
Overall, what a damn nice APA with a stellar bittersweet aroma and flavor without the bitterness hitting harshly on my tongue. So smooth, would be a fantastic food beer!
