Just a fly in the ointment, the monkey in the wrench, the pain in the ass. Hoppy Ki Yay is not here to fit in.

An appealing citrus and mango aroma, with subtle malts tucked in the background for a satisfying and unexpected finish.

The Ballad of John Kincaid

A frozen frontier street under deep snow, horses steaming at the rail1
That winter bit hard.
John Kincaid walks down the snowy street, pinstripe vest, two holstered revolvers2
He drew like water runs downhill.
Picket stands on a boardwalk in a long black coat, hands behind his back, smiling coldly3
Cruelty worn as easy as his coat.
Townsfolk keep their heads down as Kincaid passes, while an old woman looks up at him4
Nobody said a word. Nobody had to.
Kincaid and Picket face each other down the length of the snowy street at noon5
One fought because he had to. The other because he could.
Both men fire at once, smoke curling from their revolvers6
Two shots. The smoke couldn't keep up.
Kincaid pulls at the torn sleeve where Picket's bullet grazed his arm7
He looked at his sleeve and shrugged.
Kincaid walks away through the snow as the town watches, Picket fallen far behind him8
The town would never forget the name John Kincaid.
