Can from the Packie, Lightly hazy lemon yellow with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. Citrus and plastic phenols with a faint bready maltiness. Mild infection here or maybe kviek yeast?

19.2 oz. can (11/25/20) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! An opaque black (dark brown/garnet at the bottom of the glass) with nice sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width creamy light-brown foam head with fair retention and trace lacing. Smells of strong bourbon (with an alcohol astringency that kind of burns the nostrils), cherry, roasted chocolate malts, toffee as it warms. Taste is overpowering bourbon (and kind of caustic) over much milder maple and even later dark fruit and roasted malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation, alcohol burn in the mouth with later mild esophageal alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, wish I had let this sit at least another 6 months! The bourbon is so hot and dominating that it overshadows everything else and kind of ruins it. If you have one of these, let it sit and it might be a completely different experience!

Can from the Packie. Lightly hazy dark brown with and off white head that recedes. Rich caramel and toffee with bits of dark dried fruit, oak tannin whiskey and light sherry oxidation. Not bad.

In case you were looking for an imperial Stout in a 24.8 ounce can this one’s for you! Born on : 16 Nov 20. Aroma is light maple, caramel, oak, and booze. Flavor does show slight maple throughout with soft roasted malt, chocolate, and the one flaw which is alcohol. The maple is a nice character. I wish the body was more full. 3.8.

16 oz. can. Crystal clear Golden appearance. Aroma is mild floral hops with some cracker malt. Flavor is the spot on the aroma. Texture is crisp with a soft floral finish. About what I expected.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from NH. Pours lightly hazed dull gold with a foamy, white head. Medium sweet flavour with a nice throwback style to it, some sturdy malts, mellow gooey pine, semi-ripe citrus fruits, tangerine, licks of grass and rind. Medium to full bodied, lightly chewy, with average carbonation. Subtly resinous in the finish, more good malt backbone, tasty and restrained pine, almost juicy citrus. The more I drink it, the more I like it.

Fresh 16 oz. can. Aroma is all lime and citrus peel. Flavor is mostly lime with a mild spicy yeast character underlying. I mean... at 4.5 % and focused around the lime, it is decent. Would be a ok beach or BBQ sipping brew.

Can from Bert's Pours a hazy light lemon yellow with a smattering of bubbles that never really forms a head. Aroma and flavor have moderate grapefruit and light peach with a smattering of lemon lime. Not much tart at all on this one. No hops no malt, at least the mouthfeel wasn't watery. Canned two months ago.

Can (1/6/20) pour from the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy (fine pulpy particulates) pale golden yellow with very nice sparkle, finger-width creamy white head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma is lightly roasted malts, sweet coffee and milk chocolate. Taste is creamy milk chocolate, roasted grainy malts and late pleasant mildly bitter coffee. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, slick texture, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth in the stomach and fairly crisp finish as taste. Overall, quite good for the blonde stout style. Never going to compare to a full-on stout but the disparity between the look and taste gets me every time. Well crafted.

Taster pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy yellow with lazy sparkle, thin coating of off-white head and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is mild fruit and pine. Taste follows aroma along with citrus, hint of herb and cracker malt background. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, OK but nothing special.
