Tall boy pack from Appalachian Vinter in NC. Really nice store. Two bars, is also a wine shop & sells lots of other little provisions. Stemless wine glass @ home away from home. Quick sizzle, opaque, pineapple juice sort of color. Saturated melon/lilac/powder/fresh meadow-y grass, arid apple, less typical dry hop scent; Really nice. Maybe a little overwhelming on your 3rd top off? Taste is bitter & mostly dry apple, baby powder, big lilac/lavender-esque florals, light bitter-green essence. Rounded at first, maybe too rounded, it is dry & dusty middle on, with a relieving snap of bitter citrus rind on the finish. Alcohol is noticeable, but having two isn't a problem. Maybe I'm jaded, but this just comes off just slightly funky. Might not be better than OG Arlo (which had more bite), but the dry hop & subtle ferment changes sure make it interesting.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish, glowing straw color with a finger of white foam that dissipates instantly. Lovely funky, farmy nose with wet hay, barnyard, fresh squeezed citrus and pear aromas. Light pineapple as it warms. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing on the palate with more pear, apple lingering tangerine floral flavors. Dry and farmy finish. Very nice.
