5.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 6
9 oz cask at SunUp Brewing in Phoenix, Arizona. The pour is a mostly hazed brown copper with a thick 1/4 inch light tan head. The aroma is nut caramel malt. The taste is bright tart, somewhat vinegar sour that clears quick and shows the softly sweet nuttiness of the nose. The palate is medium bodied with soft cask mouthfeel and a bit of the lingering sour finish. Tasted a bit off.

9 oz cask at SunUp Brewing in Phoenix, Arizona. The pour is a hazed golden with a thin white frothy head. The aroma is bright pils malt along with a bright lime citrus. The taste is the clean malt and the bright fresh lime citrus. The palate is light bodied with a soft cask mouth feel. Soft and gentle, nice pils. Good showcase for the hops.

On tap at Scottsdale, pours a clear copper amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out herbal and spicy hops, and dry biscuity malt. Flavour is quite sweet from the hop oils, with a very abrasive palate overall. I was told this would be sweet, but it doesn't seem like an intentional sweetness. Very rough and difficult to drink. Not a fan.

On tap at SunUp, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out lots of vanilla upfront, followed by light toasted malt. Flavour incorporates the vanilla well with the toasted malt. A vanilla bomb without being overwhelming. Nicely done.

On tap at SunUp, pours a clear copper with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out light piney hops, some floral notes and doughy malt. Flavour is floral and citrus hop-heavy, with quite a strong astringency on the finish. Lacking character despite finishing abrasively. Meh.

On tap at SunUp, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a strange spicy hop quality, with some band-aid and biscuity malt. Flavour is the same, with earthy and spicy hops, band-aids, and biscuity malt. Not sure if this is the hop variety or a mis-brew. Not into this.

On tap at SunUp, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of lemon juice dominating. Flavour is bizarre, with lots of lemon and ascorbic acid. Not much here besides that. If you like drinking lemon juice, you'll like this. Not good.

On cask at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lime and subdued resinous hops. Flavour is heavy on the lime and astringent hoppy bitterness. Harsh and off the mark. No good.

On tap at Real, Wild & Woody Beer Festival, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out thick coffee and lovely bourbon. Flavour is rich and complex, with loads of coffee, bourbon, chocolate and vanilla. Clean and complex. Wonderful.

32oz growler, filled at the brewpub, pours with a clear copper body that supports a thin off white head. The aroma offers up malt infused pine hops, a candi sugar like note, mango hard candy and then a modest resiny hop hit at the end of the draw. The taste delivers a smooth mouth full of thick malt nuanced resiny pine hops and a thin juicy mango note. To midway and into the finish it picks up a floral hoppiness as well as a caramel sweetness that’s a bit distracting. It starts with a nice chewy nearly resiny hop bitterness and then becomes a bit juicy with tropical fruitiness and then at the end a caramel note kind of derails the experience a bit.
