Growler thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a large white head over a slightly hazy orange-golden body. Aroma of fruits, caramel, vanilla, melon and citrus. Also light bazooka bubblegum. Floral and tea like. Flavors of raisins, figs, caramel, some bitterness and tobacco. An IPA? Doesn’t taste like one. Not really that tasty at all. Slightly metallic finish. Medium bubbles. Not super dry. Pretty sweet actually.

Jug bottle. Poured a copper color with white head. Aroma was bready, yeasty, malty. Flavor was heavy on the bread, with a mild hop character. I didn’t really like the finish, as it was a bit harsh and not very clean.

Big thanks to matta for whipping out this half liter blue glassed swing top. It pours copper / brown with tan head. The aroma is a nice musty maltiness blending into sweet dark fruitiness and a sense of heat at the end of the draw. The taste is sweet smooth and yummy with sweet sticky sludgy malts, prunes, sugary black berries, boysenberries and sweet over ripe huckleberries. This is smooth silky goodness that shows no signs of going down hill due to cellar time.

Growler thanks to bu11zeye. Thought it sounded tasty from Chad’s review so I thought I would upload my review. Pours with a slightly hazed golden body and a decent white head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, grain and adjunct. Actually, I hate using this, but it smells like your stereotypical beer that you think of before you knew about craft beer. Taste is astringently grainy and earthy, vegital, soil and adjuncts. Lively mouthfeel with a dry finish. I came no where near to climaxing nor creaming after having this unmemorable cream ale. . . Sorry. That said it is surprisingly drinkable.
