Let’s rap about flair for a moment, gang. Flair is not about doing the minimum, it’s about expressing yourself. It’s about fun. You can get a beer just about anywhere these days, but when we get together with our convivial pals at WeldWerks to kung fu some brew, you don’t just get a hop-saturated hazer, you get two breweries at the same time! Now, we don’t want to jump to conclusions, but you want to express yourself, don’t you?

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet tropical fruit hops and plenty citrus. Taste is more of the nice sweet tropical fruit hops citrus kick.

Really good! The aromas are lots of fresh grapefruit and pot hops. Flavors are similar to nose, just right balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. Great body and satisfying finish. Super good drinking beer.

Light to Fairly hazy orange and ghostly off-white coloured head with plenty of haze and a soft white and tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of relatively deep and citrusey scent of grass and lemons with some herbal and floral aspects noticeable along with a subdued orange and lactose note with some softer grapefruit and bitter scents here as well. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong lactose and pure orange and vanilla notes show at first with a big kick from the bitterness and especially the malts after the first few seconds with a light grassy and herbal characteristic that shows some more of the bitterness with a touch of cream and lactose at the end that doesn’t really show any bitterness or pungency. Aftertaste shows the rich malts, some papaya, mango and especially meloney flavours that drive the richness of this one, coupled with some citrus fruits for bitterness and a bit of vanilla for smoothness, on the end. Overall, a pretty nice and rangey beer with a lot of vanilla, lactose, citrusey flavours and a good bitterness throughout. Nice to sample this, especially for the name and how far away I am from Iowa - which is nice to have here, for sure. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York, New York for US$ on 04-December-2021, canned on 15-October-2021 with a best by date of 12-February-2022, sampled a few minutes later walking the streets of New York, New York with my family on 04-December-2021.

Pours a hazy, golden pineapple, with big head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows, with some grass and a touch of hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft and full. Very nice collab.

Can (10/15/21) pour from The Beer Store, Nashua. It's an opaque dark yellow-light brown with trace sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with excellent retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong candied nondescript fruit (pineapple? apricot? citrus?). Taste is strong candied fruit and milder citrus. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering yeast and mild bitterness. Overall, juicy but pretty nondescript. Not bad but not a TG classic.
