I thought it might be important to include a growler review simply because this beer really falls off after oxidation, which in a MBBC growler doesn't take much time.

Upon the first pour, the head has dropped off a bit to one finger, leaving more of a thick foam upon dissipating and lacing is less, though still good.
Not much changes in the aroma, fortunately.
In the flavor, for whatever reason, a sharp tang is evident that isn't fresh.
From a growler, it would seem this beer boasts a smoothness that, while there is a bit, doesn't live up to the boast. This flattens out a little bit in a relatively short time.
generally, off the tap, this has much more to offer, but remains drinkable and isn't bad if consumed fairly quickly from a growler.

Serving type: growler
