Tap at Bungalow. 11% I believe! It was a mellow opaque gold with a wispy but long lasting head of foam. It’s got a nice stone fruit aroma (apricot jam) and is medium to full bodied. It’s a bit heavy/slick but at the high ABV. That is no surprise. It’s not boozy at all and is really quite smooth. It wasn’t boozy at all. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

medium amber color. Good citrusy and cotton candy nose. A touch sweet. Prickly hop character with an assault of pine, citrus, cotton candy and big resininess. Modestly sweet. What is very interesting is that it isn’t actually a malt bomb and drinks a tad lighter than 11% . Big bitterness, good stone fruit character. Slight warming in the tummy on the first few sips. Fairly straightforward but lots of potential to screw this up and they nailed it. If you like 11% beers and count me out as a person who does, you’ll love this. Slightly warming finish.

Tap at Ape. Big nose of citrus, stone fruit, biscuity malt. Heavy and a bit oily but not syrupy, not overly sweet or boozy. Nice hops with a lovely, prickly, spicy finish. Good but I am kind of worn out by this style.
