Pinocchio Syndrome

Can we get a witness?

About Me

we are a hoppy blend of post-indie/noise/shoegazer/psychedelic/blues/jazz influences. our rich, complex flavors are derived from long periods of exposure to darkness, smoke, and dirt. upon tasting us, one can detect a slight blend of mixed fruits---i.e. the reneeberry (native of the north carolina smokey mountains), the salberry (native of the westchester wildlife conservation area in new york), and the maxberry and jonberry (both of local origins). although pinocchio syndrome seems like an exceptionally dark ale, its smooth, well-balanced finish only adds to its unusual intricacy. in short, we dare you to stop at just one.
