After The Lost Abbey I didn't think there was anywhere to go in terms of amusing American brewery names. How wrong I was. Bottle. Just unclear pink-tinged amber with a dense coat of near white head. Aroma of old lemon, plums, rose hips, twigs, oak. Moderately sour but also surprisingly sweet with plums and their skins. Somewhat creamy texture. A little oakier at the end - that's really it for the finish. It does grip more after a while. Pretty good.

Can. Pours crystal clear golden, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is pine, grapefruit, touch of passionfruit. Flavor is light plus sweet, medium bitter. Pretty traditional wc hop and malt profile, sweetness consistent with a triple. Clean. Medium body. Bit of an ABV burn
