COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We asked our brewing team what beer would they brew if they were stranded on a desert island. Each beer reflects the brewers’ unique approach to beer and taste. There will be an extremely limited amount of each beer produced so be on the lookout when they’re available, they won’t last long. Brewed by: Courtney Lacey, Brett Cracco.

Comes out of tap seriously bubbly golden with a thrust nice eggshell head that leaves good lacing. Aroma promises fresh malt and fruity notes.flavor delivers all tha the aroma promises and adds woody hops and a bit of a smoky note. Mouthfeel presents decent body and good fizz. Just sit right back and have a crater of this.

Tap at JC’s. Tan head on an orange-amber body, medium with lightly crisp feel, touch nutty but more caramel. Honey, sure, but mild and clashes a bit with the mild hops. Maybe could dry out a bit more, perhaps simplify the grist? There’s a fumy thinness in the body weight and mouthfeel that I found distracting. Still, wouldn’t refuse a pint.

sloth (2665) - Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA - SEP 1, 2015
Large, tan head thats short lived, skimpy lace. Clear, amber/brown color. Nose is slight, slight malts and a hint of honey. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Fairly dry malts, caramel, brown, slight nuttyness and the hint of honey. Dry finish, caramel and bread. Not bad, not tremendous, mediocre at best. Draft from statelineliquors.

Dark amber color with a nice lacing head. Malty aroma, I don’t get any honey on the nose, but this beer is smooth and drinkable. Clean finish.

Yeah, pass. Muddy gold colored. Tastes like herbal tea with artificial sweetness. Some malts in the body, lighter overall. No thanks.

I feel like this would be torture on a deserted island. But then if it was on a desert island rather than a deserted island any liquid would be worth it. Why get caught up in grammar in such a situation though? The important thing is a brewer in this place chose this as his number one beer. Says a lot about the brewery. Light burnt honey taste at end, with decent bitterness. Pours dark amber. Easy drinking at least. Tap at brewpub.

Deep Amber red with lasting thin beige head; aroma is dry astringent notes of tea hints if pretzels; Flava is grainy dry notes of tea with hints of citrus(lemon); feels light crisp and clean little fizz; finishes tangy slightly bitter and dry
