Draft. A- Grapefruit, tropical fruits, citrus, juicy, subtle hoppiness. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Slightly musty, medium bitterness, citrus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, boring finish. O- TH has been dabbling in grapefruit hoppy beers for a while now. This one excited me most because it showcased the Citra hops, my favorite. It came across nicely on the nose, but failed elsewhere. Pretty standard IPA with a nice juicy tropical nose but a bland boring palate.

Draft. A- Subtle lemon, ginger, cleaner. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Ginger, soapy, lemon. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- A touch heavy on the ginger and not so much on the lemon but overall pretty refreshing. Doesn’t touch Boulevards Lemon Ginger Radler but still drinkable for sure.

Draft. A- Grains, corn, subtle straw. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Grains, crisp, corn, slightly sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- For a style that I hate, this was passable. Nothing special about it but easy enough to drink.

On tap at Dismal River. Pours a near clear copper with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of pine with a bit of grapefruit and a light grain backbone. Flavor is similar with a nice bitter profile from the pine and grapefruit supported by a touch of bread.

Draft. A- Blueberry, subtle cocoa, dusty. A- Dark color, dark liquid, tan head. T- Subtle dark berries, cocoa. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth finish. O- I love chokecherries and expected it to be similar to that taste. The berries were there but very faint and more along the lines of blueberry/blackberry. Not near as fruity or delightful as I wanted. Kind of boring actually.

Draft. A- Bland, caramel. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, malty, pine, bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, malty finish. O- Very off balanced on the finish and no grapefruit at all. Tasted like a malty caramel bomb that’s been sexually harassed by bitterness. No where near as good as their Grapefruit IPA.

Draft. A- Spoiled fruit, subtle coffee, subtle cocoa. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, off white head. T- Coffee, subtle smoke, subtle roasted notes, soft fruit. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, unbalanced finish. O- A far amount of coffee but not much else. Tasted kind of like a stale pot of coffee. A bit of fruit in there but not much. Yet another bad peach variant.
