On tap @ Equinox. Pours a clear, dark, orangish brown appearance with a lasting brown head. Toffee, brown sugar, toasted pecans, and vanilla in the aroma. Medium light body. A little too sweet but I wouldn’t say it’s cloying. Caramel and burnt sugar are pervasive in the flavor. Thin and maybe even a touch fruity. Not offensive but it could be better crafted.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a clear golden orange appearance with an off white head. Some yeast, lemon, apple, wheat, and some grass in the nose. Moderately sweet. Medium light bitterness. Some candy and citrus fruit flavors. Dull carbonation. Ehh.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a hazy golden appearance with an off white head. Fairly grassy and sweet grainy aroma with a bit of spicy hops. Moderately sweet flavor though somewhat well balanced. Chewy, doughy flavor. Light citrus. Some yeasty notes. Didn’t get any caramel like the description suggested. OK.

On tap @ Equinox. This is their gold ale with some roasted make. Not sure how to classify its style so I just went with brown ale. A bit hazy brown appearance with a decent brown head. There’s a little bit of roast and nuttiness in the nose with a little chalk and husk. Flavor is pretty bland. Some mineral and chalky notes. Light chocolate and roast. A touch of citrus. Inoffensive but boring.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a murky orange appearance with an off white head. Some tropical fruits in the nose like pineapple and mango along with some spicy hops. Spicy flavor. Pretty high bitterness though the fruit notes are kind of cool. Dough and a touch of greeny hops. Not all bad.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a bit hazy, dark orange appearance with a tan head. Spicy, a bit piney, herbal hoppy aroma. Flavor has some resin and pine notes. A bit of sweet caramel and a rush of bitterness, especially on the finish. Not horrible but I wouldn’t want to drink more than a pint of this.

On tap @ Equinox. Pours a hazy reddish orange appearance with a lasting cream colored head. Toasted malt, burnt sugar, and dough in the aroma. A touch watery. Biscuity, toasty flavor. Quite sweet with bland bitter hops. Eh.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow with medium white head leaving sticky lacing. Great nose with pine, hemp, and citrus. Thick mouthfeel with nice bitter hop bite upfront, grapefruit and pine. Very good.
