750 mL, $6.99, Corked & Caged, thick gold foil on the neck. Poured into a large wine glass. No lace, and a spotty head that looks like patchy mold on the surface of the beer. Nasty looking, murky brown body.
Pop is absent on opening. Nasty, nasty ethanoic acid, sinus-clearing, eye-watering aroma. Reminds me of red cooking vinegar. Overwhelming acid that does not let up. Gets even sharper in the finish. As the “beer” warms the edge is taken off, but this is still a beer that I cannot access.
This becomes sufficiently far enough away from beer to make it “not” beer for me. No point in drinking this for me.
Drain pour.
