I've just tried a Daniel Thwaites 13 Guns - a US styleee tribute to the original states.
I have wittily posed an Innis&Gunn next to it - 14 Guns, geddit
Dark amber, hoppy and definitely tasty but slightly underwhelmingly - a bit like many generic bottled beers.
I read the following description from someone as clever, verbiose and poetic as @theclaud
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, bubbly, and loosely foamy ecru head, which leaves a nice band of snowflake lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of musty pine needles, overripe navel oranges and white grapefruit, gritty, grainy pale malt, a touch of hard toffee, and more indistinct, but duly pleasant tropical fruit. The taste is bitter grapefruit, orange, and lemon citrus rind, some further pineapple and kiwi sharp fruitiness, crackery caramel malt, more crystallized toffee, and a moderately dank forest floor pine hop astringency.
