8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 8 Flavor 8.5 Texture 8 Overall 8

Can (4/1/25) from the brewery. Opaque, milky yellow with tons of sparkle, ephemeral thin head, trace lacing. Aroma is pungent cooking herb over background sweet fruit. Taste is strong initial cooking herb, followed by rapidly changing tropical fruit, orange and lemon citrus, berries all taking center stage for a brief instant. Frothy texture, average carbonation, initial blip of alcohol that's never seen again, herbal/fruity/malty dry finish with lingering bitterness. Strongly herbal but very interesting complexity and variation in back half of taste. Unique.
