Can from Stacks. Hazy ochre, stable, foamy, off-white head. Aroma of peach, nectarine, tangerine, orange peel, cheese rind, onion, lime. Taste has sweetish tangerine & peach, bitter grapefruit and dank, bit spicy onion in a doughy, bit dry cracker-like malt body. Floral & peppery hops in the finish, lingering juicy stone fruit, bitter citrus peel & pith. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Quite dry and bitter with sufficient juiciness, very good.

Flavour-wise okay but it's basically a smoothie with alcohol.

Ripe blue grape, brambleberries, cherry tomato, beef stock. Sweet-sourish blackcurrant, grape; soy sauce, meat & clove. Woody, bit toasty finish, clove, dessert wine-like alcohol warmth. There's a complex beer underneath it all, but this is too weird and messy.
