Can. Very hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a thinnish creamy sweetness. Crisp pine into a pleasant smorgasbord of ripe fruits, ripe orange, a little sweet mango, guava, soft cranberry and some mild lime. A little hop spice on the crisp finish. Nice brew, crisp and drinkable and with a very nice hop fruit array.

Brewery draught, 9/22/24. Heavily hazy, brass-golden-pineapple. Small, white head, slowly to ring. Juice, deep spice, mineral and white wine. Not too heavy on the ester for a Brit yeast. Biscuit and cracker malt character balances gently. Lingering watermelon, guava and kiwi. Juicy strawberry-kiwi. Gentle guava and deep spice with excellent mineral. Fruity yeast is more prominent in flavor. Pineapple through the middle but it never gets twangy/punchy. Juice and spice lingering long. Great attenuation and maltiness.

Hoppy and creamy, citrus, a bit piney. Nice and smooth but full of flavor, finishes dryish. Very nice.

473ml can @ Pien, Helsinki. Sweetish, creamy and tropical fruity with some citrus, floral notes and mild bitterness. Okay.

Can (9/23/20) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is opaque dark yellow-light brown with no sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is non-specific citrus/berry/bubblegum fruits. Taste is nondescript sweet --maybe berry, grape, a little citrus, candy--and hint of late herb. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with soft, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, very nondescript and likely dominated by Enigma as hard to find typical Citra and Rakau. Not gonna lie--a bit disappointing given my expectations of the brewer and these hops. A little thin.

Can from the Source. Hazy murky lemon yellow with a small but long lasting bubbly white head. Tropical citrus earth and light grass against a sweet fresh baked bready yeasty maltiness. Hints of spicy alcohol and a light gritty mouthfeel. Nice brew.

5 oz. draft. Great blend of hops. Hidden alcohol, soft mouthfeel, slightly lingering grassy bitterness. Really well balanced. Another real good brew from Spyglass.
