Appearance: Pours a hazed amber body with an explosive, run-away white head. Smell: A tart, twangy aroma akin to cooked berries along with a dose of pine. Taste: A beer that begins and ends tart, with some mild malt flavors and English hops in between. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Questionably well carbonated. Drinkability: A "flagship beer" that’s flying at half-mast.
