Tap @ Thunderhead. Pours a dark orange appearance with an off white head. Orange creamsicle, quite sweet, caramel, candy aroma. Rich candy, sweet citrusy, a bit tangy, caramel flavor with some bitterness on the finish but doesn’t seem to balance the sweetness overall.

Tap @ Thunderhead. Pours a slightly hazy orange appearance with a white head. Herbal, potpourri, spicy, floral orange aroma. Kind of a weird spicy, big floral, grassy, light cleanser, a little bitter flavor. Sort of weird beer.

Tap @ Thunderhead. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a white head. Spicy pepper, nice jalapeno, lightly grainy aroma. Slightly spicy, tasty roasted jalapeno, a bit smoky flavor. Not over the top on the spiciness and not one-dimensional like so many pepper beers these days. This was nice and I would love to try again.

Tap @ Thunderhead. Pours a hazy yellow appearance with a white head. Herbal, floral, wild honey, lightly grassy aroma. Pretty balanced, well integrated honey flavor with some herbal notes. Somewhat refreshing and a pretty good honey wheat for what it’s worth.

Tap @ Thunderhead. Pale hazy yellow appearance with a white head. Intense peachy, a touch artificial (but maybe it’s natural?) aroma. lightly tart, fuzzy peach, lightly herbal, a bit bitter flavor. Spitzy, fairly high carbonated. Not bad.

Can @ hotel room. Not sure if this should be a new entry or not, but this is titled "Cropduster Mid-American IPA". 6.5% abv. Pours a hazy golden appearance with a nice, off white head. Mild tropical fruit (pineapple, passionfruit, mango), a bit spicy, zesty aroma. Tangy, creamy, citrus fruity, mango, orange, pineapple, somewhat herbal bitter flavor. Pretty tasty and easy to drink.

12 oz can from Iowaherkeye. Thanks Joey! Nose of Wonder bread fresh from the oven that I used to smell as a kid in Sacramento, mixed with light spice notes and sweetness. Clear yellow with a medium pale yellow head. Flavor is lightly sweet honey, spicy, a vanilla hint, and spices. I wish I had more! Decent wheat ale!
