Thanks to sliverx for this rarity. Pours a very clear gold color with some nice foam and lacing from a growler pour.
I smell acetone with some earthy and floral hops and light caramel malt.
Taste is a pretty straightforward APA...piney hops with a lighter, biscuity malt base. Crackery and crisp, but I still get a little finger nail polish remover in the flavor - not near as much as in the nose. Flying Bison does seem to have the mouthfeel thing down though, this one is nice and creamy. Pretty easy drinking brew, but I just couldnt get acetone out of my mind while quaffing.

Poured from my growler, perfectly clear light gold, 1/4" of white foam for a cap , nice lacing
Smell was of light malt and a hint of alcohol no hops whatsoever Taste is sweet malty, alcohol is evident in the back end which does have a bit of a chemical taste, I won't go as far as nail polish remover as had been suggested but its unpleasant. Again no hop presence whatsoever.
Mouthfeel is nice fits the style well good carbonation and a bright spot here
Overall hmmm well I was really excited to see "Special Anniversary Beer" on the brewery Facebook, but this is just a major bore. I love the brewery and their presence in the community but please just do some stuff that's exciting and maybe (god forbid) hoppy. Everything seems lately to just be a slight variation of the last and neither being exceptional. Yes I could drink this all day and my palate show no wear, but why must they all be light malt sweetness and miniscule or no hop presence. End rant.
