This beer sucks. It might have been infected, I am not sure. It kind of had a sour taste that led me to believe it was on the verge of being bad. Brown color, white head, smells like malt and trash can, taste is sweet and kind of sour, no hops, light alcohol burn, bleh. I will admit that it was more drinkable when I finished it than it was when I started. Still, not worth drinking.

over carbonated. almost undrinkable. Maybe the bottle was bad but I don’t think so. It was un pourable and very , well - crappy. this one is a loser.

Way too much head. Seem to always have a problem with this brewery. Not planning on running to the store for more. Would rather have a Point Amber.

decants a rather fizzy, lightly-hazed orange-blushed amber, with a big off-white head that retains well and leaves good lace. nose is a bit problematic. something of a soapy/detergent smell up front, with some tart fruit notes on the side. it tastes worse than it smells. I think this one is starting to go. very dry, somewhat tart...given time, I think this is on the way to malt vinegar. well, I’m assuming this one has a problem. I’ll be happy to give it another go ’round - but this one is going down the drain.
