Aroma – 4.75 – Massive terpenes when the top is popped – WONDERFUL! No yeast, no malt. No ethanol (7.7 % ABV according to the label).
Flavor – 4.5 – After the initial burst of terpenes, the malt slooowly begins to dominate, adding a sweet, dark dimension to the weedy dry aroma. No yeast. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. No gastric warming.
Palate – 4 – Medium; slightly creamy; soft carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 4.25 The aroma is enough reason to drink this! The taste isn’t too shabby either.

Dark amber with a tall tan head of foam.

This is undoubtedly terpene-forward first, like a sort of brightly dripping bud with a little 7Up citrus and spruce tip, though the malt slowly develops thereafter with pleasantly mild acorn and Melba qualities.

Totally different, it takes a minute to acclimate, but that sprucey quality actually takes hold and dominates the further into the glass I get, driving away from any truer cannabis characteristics at a rapid clip. It makes it difficult to finish the last quarter of liquid.
