Pours dark amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of spiced malt, vaguely skunky. Taste has hoppy malt, odd hops. Taste has resinous malt, pale ale malts. Palate has much of the same. Not bad.

Draft at the Lakeside Bar & Grill in Lanesborough, MA. Super dark brown color with a tight beige head and very good retention. Good lacing too. Nice roasty and malty porter flavor with a light coffee background flavor. Smooth and semi-creamy mouthfeel. Pretty good.

Hazy amber with a brown head, cider like in appearance. Aroma of brown sugar, and sweet apples. Odd apple juice taste, some faint spiced notes like a watered down wheat ale, cinnamon, nutmeg. Palate has some rotten apple notes on the nose. Good idea, poor execution.

Can at home. Hoping it gets changed to dumb pale ale category. Dirty gold and large head. Nose is kids fruit cup. Tastes oddly fruity of fake pear, peach orange and malt. Weird flavor profile somehow. Juicy palate.

Can (1/26/21) pour. It's an opaque dark yellow with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, 2-finger foamy white head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma pretty accurately matches description--citrus dominates tropical fruit with a mild dank element. Taste is strong candied fruit, melon rind, mild grains. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation, hint of alcohol warmth and dry, crisp finish as taste with mild bitterness. Overall, a pretty competent NEIPA.

Can shared in London - picked up in the US. Pours unclear golden orange with a creamy, white head. Medium sweet, with notes of ripe citrus, light oily pine, pale bread. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Warming finish, faint caramel, more ripening citrus, bready pale malts. Pretty decent.
