Pithy grapefruit nose. Opaque orange, medium head. Clementine, rosehip, lemongrass. Medium body, easy carbonation.

Super chunky, hazy and 80 per cent opaque, orange glowing beer with a thinnish, one to two centimetre tall, lightly soapy tan and off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of oranges, light tropical fruits, flowers and a dry herbal bite with a light touch of malt and grass. Medium-bodied; Strong orange-y and tropical fruit notes show at first with a verye easy-drinking character and some smooth, relatively light and soft malt notes that don't show much sweetness at all - only the depe juice and fruit notes, but no associated sugar or bitterness. Aftertaste shwos the deep fruit and very smooth, but fairly full malt texture and profile with a great orange-y and mango profile that goes down easily, but a slight warmth from a mellow alcohol note shows at the very end. Overall, a fairly nice New England IPA that goes down easily without any real associated bitterness, but a great profile and balanced malt. Surprisingly nice from Sycamore - very good to sample this one fresh! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 17-August-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 19-August-2020.

Definitely a candy vibe. Not sure about the mountain. Golden pour with decent head, lacing. Lots of caramel and booze here. Bittersweet finish. Tap at en su boca.

Mango and passion fruit. Hazy golden pour with decent head. Hop tang finish. Lime. Not as much juice as you'd hope. Can.

Very deep, yet clear, copper and bronze coloured body that brings out a bit of a ruby and pink glow, all underneath a remarkably beautiful three centimetre tall, long-lasting tan, microfoamed head. Aroma of sour fruity candy with soe oranges, apricots and grapes noticeable as well, but the malt, yeast, alcohol smell a tiny bit at the end, but the fruit is pungent. Medium-bodied; Relatively crisp floral and very perfumey character up front that shows more sweetness than you would expect, but the alpha acids are surprisingly low, which gives the sweetness and malt extra room to make an impact, especially for the style. Aftertaste is crisp, but again, more fruity, earthy, nutty, malty and especially sweet - than any form of hoppy or bitterness. Overall, a decent-ish beer that looks great and smells nice (albeit not akin to the style), but is lacking in complex, enjoyable flavours and substance Nice to try on the cheap, but don't go out and try to find this one - it'll be disappointing.

Rating for Original Sample: 6,5,6,2,12 Can #2: (Purchased 28-June-2022 for US$1,87/mixed six, Canned 01-June-2022 and Sampled: 26-August-2022): Super hazy straw and bright yellow coloured body perhaps not even making the colour gold since it's so hazy and opaque, with a two to three centimetre tall off-white head that fades about on average and leaves a pretty nasty lace on the sides. Aroma of citrus fruit, pretty dank and resinous, grassy hops with a bit of flowers and bitterness, here, too, along with a pungent lactosey and fructosey sweetness, with some alcohol in the nose, too. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich and pungent oaty and wheat malts show at first and provide a lot of depth to the flavours with some citrus fruit, melons, grass and papaya sweetness at the end and no pervasive bitterness. Aftertaste is very rich from all the malts with a kick of additional sweetness derived from the fruits here, but some lactose and full cream seem noticeable as well, with a slightly dry, but very robust finish. Overall, a very nicely structured IPA with a ton of malts to support, but even more fruit flavours from the hops, but no bitterness, pungency and only a tiny dash of alcohol here - this is purely new school and it works out great! Great to sample this local-ish and fresh, much better than I remember/wrote about, before on my first can, unless the recipe changed?!?! Rating for this sample: 8,4,9,4,16

Beautiful, perfectly clear brown coloured body with a nice, microfoamed two centimetre tall tan or even light brown coloured body that fades to just a sliver, but still looks nice! Aroma of roasted coffee, hazelnuts, earth, dirt, chocolate and a touch of peat and malt. Medium-bodied; Rich chocolate and roasty malt notes show at first with some deep earthiness, a light caramelised sugar and grainy flavour with a touch of brewed coffee and smoked peat, but the real strong flavour here is the hazelnuts, which are pungent. Aftertaste is crisp and deep, but showing only the peat, earth, caramel and nutty flavours without the chocolate or coffee at all! Overall, a pretty nice beer despite the 'best' flavours aren't noticeable at the end - there is a lot of nuts and sugars and this of course, tastes much more of a brown ale (nut) than a blonde. Nice to try, but don't expect too much - or just rate this as a brown, as that's really what this is - no blonde here at all!
