Bottle from press online around December. Fridge sleep for dry January & the usual lengthy flu.

Clear, if a touch foggy; Marigold, light soda lace.
Grassy, herbal, bittersharp, some significant berry notes on the nose.
Tart & earthy, sharp, obvious added malic acid, light oak. Lingering catty hops. Overall off-sweet, strong tartness with a grassy-catty astringency.
Refreshing but not all that sessionable.

Meh.

Picked up at that tiny place everyone recommends in Nashville. Best by 4/3/25 stamp on the shoulder of a glass bottle.

Dark brown amber, not quite clear. Pretty, lingering, off-white head.
Wet, grassy, muted earth, perceivably fresh nuance.
Zesty leaning fruity hops, they linger, middle-high acid, sharp ash, burnt cookie, saline, bitter astringent finish that lingers. A touch sweet.
Very thin, hyper carbed.
Okay enough.

Alabama import via Appalachian. No longer brewed in AVL. Canned 15/08/2024, just never felt the urge to drink it.

Not quite clear, orange amber, lingering frothy head.
Sweet roasted pumpkin, earthy mellow spices, more malty than veggie nose.
Bittersweet upfront. Itchy toast, creme, flat pie spice, darker malt note, a little salt on the tail.
Frothy, high acid, belly warming, not terrible.
