Purchased at brewery, no receipt. Reviewed 3/7/19.
“CANNED ON 12/28/18” stamped on bottom of the can. In reefer at brewery. Stored upside down at 42 degrees and served at 42 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter.
Appearance – 4.5.
Body – Orange, hazy. When held to the light, it becomes vaguely transparent. There are several large chunks which precipitate.
Head – Large (Maximum 5.5 cm, aggressive center pour), off-white, medium density, good retention, slooowly diminishing to a two to three mm ring, a heaped partial layer, and leaving behind, as the head retracts, narrow bands of tiny to medium bubbles.
Lacing – Good. In addition to the above, as the level drops, torn curtain lacing remains.
First pour – Yellow, clear.
Aroma – 3.5 – Very weak citrus and tropical fruit.
Flavor – 4.25 – Begins with a surprising burst of herbs and earthiness, not the citrus/tropical fruit the nose leads me to expect. Moderately bitter. No alcohol (8 % ABV), no dimethylsulfide, no diacetyl.
Palate – 3.5 – Medium, watery, lively carbonation.
Impression and interpretation – 4.25. Gotta go with the flavor on this one – quite good. I’ll be buying a couple more four-packs of this at the brewery later today!
