Can from Cap Tap. Pours hazy dark gold (tho far from milkshake) with a foamy head that seems tinged with ripe pale prunus fruit color. Aroma does suggest nectarine - or maybe peach pit. Med body, or nearly. Flavor is juicy pale prunus - could be nectarine - and there's some earthy/fruity tanginess. Drier than the juiciness suggests. Very hoppy in a non-harsh manner. Definitely bitter, but far from West Coast style. Delicious.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours light gold with a decent white head. Aroma of guava and mango mix, followed by a touch of tartness. Approaching medium body. Flavor starts with mango, moves to quava which gets mixed into moderate tartness. A somewhat wheaty finish, but overall tasty stuff.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma suggests apples with a spice note. Med body. Earthy/yeasty start. Moves on to non-citrus seeded fruits. Not tropical. Dry. Bitter in an earthy way. Clearly Belgian, but perhaps a bit off the main path. Good.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours copper tinged gold with a white head. Aroma is very fruity - to include tropicals. Med body or nearly. Flavor is slightly roasted pale malt supporting flavors like white grape and melon, and perhaps a touch of citrus. Decent amount of flavor for a session ale.

Tap at Cap Tap on Nitro. Pours dark gold with a white head. Aroma is very nice coffee. Med plus body. Flavor starts coffee and then there’s a hit like sweet half and half. Hence back to coffee. Too sweet to qualify for dry, but far from sticky. Coffee seems to provide a decent amount of bitterness. It is a really nice change of pace.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours somewhat hazy rosé with a white head. Light raspberry aroma. Med body. A fair amount of raspberry for flavor - certainly not overdone tho. Fairly dry. Raspberry “seed” stands in to provide some bitter. Refreshing on a hot day.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma of citrus with a bit of green melon with discernible pale malt support. Med body or better. Reasonably dry, hoppy and more than moderately bitter. Flavor is mostly citrus with some lightly roasty malt (not APA level) and that green melon seems persistent. Crisp and clean. Surprising that. Good ale.
