Head is medium, tan, average retention. Colour is amber to coppery, hazy. Aroma is caramel, light hoppy. Taste is medium malty base, some caramel, citrus, nice hoppy, medium carbonation, good one.

Can from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is resinous hops with bready malt, caramel, grapefruit, pine resin, and citrus. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Nice joining of malts of fruity hops, very resinous. Good!

Can from Harvest. Pours a dark amber with a finger of beige head that lingers. Toasted caramel malt and pine on the nose with a bit of grapefruit zest. Palate is similar with more pine and resin notes and light touch of smoke and toasted caramel on the finish.

Can, from Trader Joe's, Chicago/ Pours faintly cloudy reddish brown with a very small frothy off-white head that dissipated fast, faint caramel aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter lightly citrusy caramel malt taste, thin body, long citrus finish. It's a strange brew, neither here nor there.

4-pack from Binny's. Pours a lot of foam at first. Settles down to a deep amber color with some clingy foam. Nice nose of hops, some English at the front. Taste kind of runs heavily to those earthy hops. If there some West Coast for balance, I can quite pick it out. Leads to a kind of a light malt mouthfeel. I spurpised; this just didn't hit it for me.

Can. Mahogany pour with a light beige head. Citrus, grapefruit, caramel malt, resin.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Off-white head with medium retention recedes leaving soapy lacing. Earthy pine resin and dark caramel aromas. Soft with soapy bitter roots, pine resin and toasted multigrain upfront turning to tart, hot sourdough in the lasting finish.

Canned completely illegibly, maybe 11/15/22, though that seems completely crazy. Probably more like 10/8/22. Who knows. Pours a massive, beige head with good retention and a clear, amber-strawberry body. Nose is heavily fruity with a fair bit of crystal malt though not as much as the BrooDoo I just had. There's actually some interesting aromatics to this with pencil lead, strawberry, biscuit and heavily fruity yeast. Chinooky-spice with tempered pine. It's like a precursor to the greatness that is Tree House Sap. Soft, malty, chewy, well-attenuated, with buttercream malts and sappy, piney, but not resinous hops. Maybe not as enticing as the nose promises. Still, it's malty, rich, full of medium specialty malt character, if that's your thing, and a pretty reasonable overall bitterness. Actual roastiness emerging, as well. Man, drinking Pipeworks in 2022. I never thought this would be my life, but here we are. It's not so bad.
