Had this on 2018-08-09 in Columbia, PA from a 12oz can
A - Murky amber-brown with a 2-finger off-white head and very nice lace.
S - Caramel, apricot, light pine, citrus, earthy/herbal spice, moderately-dank.
T - Toasted brown, sourdough bread, caramel, pine, earthy spice, fairly bitter, lingering aftertaste. I would have appreciated a sweeter, less resinous finish.
M - Medium-full body and light-medium carbonation. Smooth at first, then a little prickly and sticky.
O - Initial reaction is this is like a "low" ABV American Barleywine.

Pours a murky reddish-brown with a thin tan head. The aroma is of pine and caramel. Hint of pine in the flavor, with a little sweet caramel malt notes. this fades to a moderate bitter finish. Full bodied, with a touch of resin.

I got a six pack of this from a beer store around the corner. It poured a clear amber with thin white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had hints of caramel malt and bitter hop highlight. The taste is malt leaning with bitter finish still easy to drink. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a decent beer.

Requires a double pour by the bartender. Good lacing in the form of blankets and rings. The liquid is dirty light brown. Cloudy.
I'm picking up on an apricot nose to the otherwise darker malted, floral hopped IPA. Intriguing, unusual and attractive.
The flavor starts dry, dark, and dirty. The flavor is like a harsh brown ale. There's a pleasant hop finish but otherwise it's harsh with a mud-like taste. In a word, confusing. Like soured milk, I want to keep trying this is a masochistic way

Taster at Growler Guys. Medium Amber with soft head. Aroma leans on some caramel malts, taste brings in some sharp, tingly hops, still caramel malts underneath. Overall it comes off as an altbier IPA, if that makes sense. Interesting nonetheless.
