Can from MarCellars. Opening the can gets you a big sweet whiff of huckleberries. Pours out a murky golden with creamy head. Aroma as mentioned is huckleberries. Taste is, yup...you guessed it... huckleberries. Somewhere underneath is a meaty golden ale, but this is all about the berries. Finishes with a whimper.

Can from MarCellars. Hazy, dark amber, nice rocky, fluffy head. Big malty aroma, toasty. More caramel malts in the taste, rich malty flavors, topped off with a mild bitter bite. Thick and chewy. Much better than the score refects.

12oz can pours with a murky copper brown body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up crystal malts, spicy hops, thin pine hops and citrus. These notes create an inviting blend of aromatics. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of crystal malts, sweet malts, citrus hops, spicy hops and a bit of grassiness. This all comes together wonderfully. Well done.

Draught. Pours Hazy orange with thin white head. Light lacing. Grapefruit and tangerine notes in full aroma. Balanced malt and hop flavour, with tending toward hop as you would expect.

12 ounce can. Pours a mostly clear orange color with a medium white head. A light fruity lemon nose. Smooth, very aggressive hops, meaty, sort of green funky hops, toast, caramel. Very pungent dank hops. OK. Really strong dank dusty hops. Not bad, just sort of raw or unrefined which is perhaps the intent.
