Can (7/17/25) shared by Steve. Hazy, honey brown, light sparkle, decent head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong caramel, piney/grapefruit-y hops. Taste is strong caramel, grapefruit/pine/citrus. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. This is almost more of a Black IPA, but I suspect this is due to age/decay of hops rather than intention of brewer. Appreciated the tick of the brewer. Jury is still out on whether this is well done but wrong style or just old and non-representative. Either way, weirdly OK but not great.

Nice mango and grapefruit mosaic. Pours golden with decent head. Quite a bitter finish here, and solid beer all around. Tap at Flying Saucer in Dallas Airport.

Poured from the tap. Clear amber with full white head. Caramel and biscuit malt, quite malty with mild pine hops. Decent, a little more old school, but not totally.

Dfw Saucer, 2/15/23. Lightly hazy deep amber-auburn. Large, expansive, beige-butter head, great retention. Spice, caramel, cookie, buttercream, juicy cherry and old fashioned. Clean, malty, not resinous. No booze. Cherry-orange hops as they combine w the medium malts. Soft and succulent, good attenuation. Great spiciness. Nothing like the oniony mosaic back east. Lovely.

On tap at Community Beer Co, pours a clear copper / bronze with a small white head. Aroma is fairly subdued, with earthy hops, some pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is forceful, with lots of piney hops, some resins, light sweetness, some dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Dank, piney and assertive, with a relative dryness on the finish. Excellent.

Short pour at Community. Mostly clear amber, tons of sticky lace. Leafy bitter nose, bold resin, tea. Taste is super pithy & nearly sweet with grapefruit, lemon & pine. Good bit of a of acid in this too. Stiff & strong, but thin & crispy enough to make it. Very good.
