Poured into a frosted shaker pint glass and tasted over the course of 25 extraordinary minutes.
Thick lumps of creamy cloud stood deep and long on the even pulp cidered peach haze. Lacy smoke tethers the piney pulp to a warming vessel as it drains.
Grapefruit, evergreen, chestnuts, and buttered biscuits make for a holiday of aromas that only disappoint by failing to linger longer.
Ethanol leads the way through the nose and bubbles across the lips into an evolving balance of flavors that bind intensity to a structure of toast and tin. Forward hops flow into sweet eggy dough and flatten out first into peppered smoke and later into polished stone. Wait long enough into following breaths, and the resin comes back to leave the mouth clean and calmly anticipating either the next gulp or next bite of food.
This hopjuice lays out evenly over the tongue and climbs over teeth high into the cheeks--again the hard-working yeast plays a key role without getting so big that it burns.
There is a reason why locals lineup around the block for this ambrosia to be canned. While it will play well all sorts of eats, I wouldn't have OTWOA on the table unless it is the main focus of degustation.

thx @blackie

12oz can, graphics not my thing, served in a lovely pfriem glassware

Kind of ironically described as a "single hop beer using Falconers Flight" - Ummm, a bit of a stretch. Regardless - a bit of a hazy orange body, some nice creamy white film. Aromas of dank, grapefruit rind, bitter citrus. Lots of floral notes, tropical fruit, dank, grapefruit rind, lemon. Decent bitterness - pretty solid all around.
