Smudgy flavor profile drifts off to nebulous dry-hopped phenol-spiced floral fruited waywardness. Tepid caramel malting, petty grape-skinned orange-soured tangerine-apricot tang and muddled coffee-stained Blackstrap molasses drear sink mild session beer dedicated to vinyl recordings of yore.

On tap, wayward ruddy magenta amber lager offers herbal dried fruiting to cereal-grained toasted malting. Orange-dried cherry-fig-date conflux perks up diminutive almond-buttered chestnut roast. Puzzling flavor mix is as freaky as beer’s circus-inspired moniker. In bottle, ubiquitous gin-soaked caraway-seeded honeyed wheat tapestry provides funky promenade for bodacious limestone-salted lemon-bruised grapefruit bittering and stewed prune souring, upping its rating.
