16oz can pours out a peach color topped with a white head. Nose is light sweet tart peach notes and a little lemon citrus. Taste is more of the nice tart lemon citrus Berliner notes and a touch of peach.

Can from Cap Tap. Canned 11/6/18. Pours hazy juicy, near grapefruit color with a transient white head. Aroma is mixed pale stone, tropics, citrus in a fairly juicy way. Med minus body. Flavor is juicy, juicily undry, pale stone fruit, citrus, tropics which could be passionfruit and melon. Bitter enough. Flavor strength isn't so strong as the aroma suggested it would be. Decent drink.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours brassy gold with a white head. Aroma seems floral perfumey. Med body. Flavor is very floral. Reasonably dry. Bitter. Floral seems to be rose and violets to me. Different but tasty and good.

16 ounce can. Pours a clear golden hue with a small white head. A light sweaty citrus nose. Very flavorful, smooth, oranges, husky grains, sweet through. Bitter in the tail. Great IPA.

Can. Amber beer with a cream head. Tropical fruit and light grapefruit aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with light grape. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and pine linger with light earth.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours darkly ruddy (held against light) with a beige head. Nice aroma of roasty malt (Euro style) with medium dark pitted fruits. Med + body. Flavor is smooth roasty malt with a nice array of medium dark pitted fruits. Maybe dried cherries and some dried pale stone and non-pruny dried plums. Not dry, not very bitter. Just darn good beer. And only 5%? Wow. Get this if you like the style.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours coppery gold with a near white head. Aroma is sort of floral/spicy in a mild way with detectable mildly roasty malt. Med body. Crisp and clean. Enough noble type hop to decently obsure the breadiness. Not my style, but this is one I can drink with a modicum of enjoyment. Fairly dry; moderately bitter. Consumable.

Draught at Slidebar: poues golden with a white head. Aroma is lemon, bread and grass. Taste is light, slightly fruity. Not bad. Easy to chug.

Got in a trade with RaulMondesi. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 10/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light pine, zesty, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an awesome brut IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Very soft feel for the style. Low IBU with tons of hop flavor. Awesome Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra profile. Very vibrant, juicy, and lightly dank hop complexity; nice pale malt backbone, minimal residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Nitro at Mega Bodega: pours copper with a nitro head. Aroma is vague maltiness... really not much to it. Taste is malty. Light sweetness. Malts and stuff.
