Can from Jeff, thanks for the hookup! Dark brown with a khaki head that persists. Rich coffee and roasty chocolate with some light maple and a hint of smoke. Weird mashup of ingredients but a tasty beverage in the end.

Canned 12/29/17, drunk 2/3/118.
Huge white head showing great retention. Lightly hazy, pale-straw-golden.
Absolutely and utterly dominated by lime zest in both nose and mouth. A bit too sweet, as well? Difficult to tell through all of this wretched, incredibly overdone lime character. And this with over a month of age on it? I can't even fathom what this was like fresh. Scary to think that someone tried this at the brewery and then decided it was fit to be released....

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is opaque black, no sparkle, less-than-finger width creamy light brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is mellow roasted malts, molasses, earth. Taste is smoky, roasted malt with light caramel. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and dry mild bittersweet finish. Overall, not the strongest aroma and flavor all around (though suffering from a bit of a head cold), and a bit thin in the palate.

Canned 8/29/17, drunk 11/25/17.
Bright, hazy, peach-pink body is topped by a large, white head showing strong retention.
Initial notes are raspberry-orange, very soft and aromatic. Low acidity and low malt, but doesn't smell watery or insubstantial. With some breathing, wheat and cereal-like notes emerge. Very clean, well-presented, even aroma with no flaw or alcohol.
In the mouth it's lightly tart, very refreshing, with tons of various grain/cereal notes. Orange juice is soft on the end with light berry essence and a touch of honey. Excellent soft, malty texture and moderate, engaging carbonation. I'm guessing the age has really softened and solidified this.

4 oz. draft at Maine Beer Cafe. Decent for the sour lovers. (Maybe) I say that very cautiously. You have to like champagne since they used champagne yeast. But it honestly seems like some oxidation has set in. The flavor has Brett, yeasty esters, cardboard, and maybe vinegar. Yeah, the flavor is exactly the aroma. Barrel is here but it also displays an off cardboard or “butter” like note. Interesting....

16 oz. can purchased at Greg & Janes, Epping, NH. Canned 1-28-18. Hazy yellow appearance, lasting foamy head. Aroma and flavor go hand-in-hand. Grapefruit, mild grassy hints and has a starchy texture. Mild juicy note. Lighter body with a very mild grapefruit bitterness. I like it and drinks well.
