Two fingers of eggshell white with a substantial larger bubbles at the pour point, dimpled surface, given its general airiness the retention is pretty good, the lacing is wispy. Cloudy liquid, deep golden color which inches towards more burnt orange hues, more random fat bubbles than consistent beads. Molasses and honey help to anchor the nose in place, otherwise it's grassiness, grapefruit pith and a little pine, lurches back in the other direction with cocoa notes and maltiness which mutes rather than supports the pineapple, peach, apricot fruit scents. Full-bodied and sluggish, glues itself to the palate, the carbonation is capable of naught but a slow pressing against the tongue, lends minimal freshness. The oily texture favors the cocoa powder, caramel albeit this gets attenuated here too. The citrus pith, pepper and pine bring enough bitterness to stiffen the finish. Not much going on by way of fruit flavors. Hay, iron flecks and soap water round out the finish. Not much going on in its favor, leaves you hoping a lack of freshness is the reason it is so unappealing.
