Very good effort from a local brewery.... Price point was 18.49 for a 4 pk of 16 oz cans... Not thrilled about that... Citrus rind and pine needles... Deep malt backbone... Good beer for sure but...at this price, it should be world class....it's good and I enjoyed it but...not sure I would shell the $ out again for it... If I can find it on tap somewhere, I hope to be able to give it a try..

Poured into a snifter from a can. Fairly clear, slightly hazy copper/amber color with a thin white head that retreated quickly. Bright aromas of tangerines, pine, earthy tones, and brown bread. Interesting taste, with plenty of fruity notes - berries, oranges, tangerines - mixed with pine and a scratchy earthy presence. The malt was there - dry bread - but restrained and in check for such a high ABV beer. A soft bitterness that rose on the finish and lingered. Medium-to-full bodied but not sweet.
